We report an experimental investigation of the role of measurement in quantum metrology when the states of the probes are mixed. In particular, we investigated optimized local measurements and general global projective measurements, involving entangling operations, on noisy Werner states of polarization entangled photons. We demonstrate experimentally that global measurement presents an advantage in parameter estimation with respect to the optimized local strategy. Moreover, the global strategy provides unambiguous information about the parameter of interest even when the amount of noise is not well characterized. This shows that the coherence in quantum operations, such as the Bell-state projection device used in our protocol, can be used to further boost the quantum advantage in metrology and play a fundamental role in the design of future quantum measurement devices.
We investigate the optimal tradeoff between information gained about an unknown coherent state and the state disturbance caused by the measurement process. We propose several optical schemes that can enable this task, and we implement one of them, a
A significant problem for current quantum computers is noise. While there are many distinct noise channels, the depolarizing noise model often appropriately describes average noise for large circuits involving many qubits and gates. We present a meth
Weak measurements may result in extra quantity of quantumness of correlations compared with standard projective measurement on a bipartite quantum state. We show that the quantumness of correlations by weak measurements can be consumed for informatio
The main promise of quantum computing is to efficiently solve certain problems that are prohibitively expensive for a classical computer. Most problems with a proven quantum advantage involve the repeated use of a black box, or oracle, whose structur
We consider estimating the parameter associated with the qubit depolarizing channel when the available initial states that might be employed are mixed. We use quantum Fisher information as a measure of the accuracy of estimation to compare protocols
