It has been proposed and demonstrated that path-entangled Fock states (PEFSs) are robust against photon loss over NOON states [S. D. Huver emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A textbf{78}, 063828 (2008)]. However, the demonstration was based on a measurement scheme which was yet to be implemented in experiments. In this work, we quantitatively illustrate the advantage of PEFSs over NOON states in the presence of photon losses by analytically calculating the quantum Fisher information. To realize such an advantage in practice, we then investigate the achievable sensitivities by employing three types of feasible measurements: parity, photon-number-resolving, and homodyne measurements. We here apply a double-port measurement strategy where the photons at each output port of the interferometer are simultaneously detected with the aforementioned types of measurements.

We investigate the utility of parity detection to achieve Heisenberg-limited phase estimation for optical interferometry. We consider the parity detection with several input states that have been shown to exhibit sub shot-noise interferometry with th
eir respective detection schemes. We show that with parity detection, all these states achieve the sub-shot noise limited phase estimate. Thus making the parity detection a unified detection strategy for quantum optical metrology. We also consider quantum states that are a combination of a NOON states and a dual-Fock state, which gives a great deal of freedom in the preparation of the input state, and is found to surpass the shot-noise limit.
We propose a class of path-entangled photon Fock states for robust quantum optical metrology, imaging, and sensing in the presence of loss. We model propagation loss with beam-splitters and derive a reduced density matrix formalism from which we exam
ine how photon loss affects coherence. It is shown that particular entangled number states, which contain a special superposition of photons in both arms of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, are resilient to environmental decoherence. We demonstrate an order of magnitude greater visibility with loss, than possible with N00N states. We also show that the effectiveness of a detection scheme is related to super-resolution visibility.
We study how useful random states are for quantum metrology, i.e., surpass the classical limits imposed on precision in the canonical phase estimation scenario. First, we prove that random pure states drawn from the Hilbert space of distinguishable p
articles typically do not lead to super-classical scaling of precision even when allowing for local unitary optimization. Conversely, we show that random states from the symmetric subspace typically achieve the optimal Heisenberg scaling without the need for local unitary optimization. Surprisingly, the Heisenberg scaling is observed for states of arbitrarily low purity and preserved under finite particle losses. Moreover, we prove that for such states a standard photon-counting interferometric measurement suffices to typically achieve the Heisenberg scaling of precision for all possible values of the phase at the same time. Finally, we demonstrate that metrologically useful states can be prepared with short random optical circuits generated from three types of beam-splitters and a non-linear (Kerr-like) transformation.
The impact of measurement imperfections on quantum metrology protocols has been largely ignored, even though these are inherent to any sensing platform in which the detection process exhibits noise that neither can be eradicated, nor translated onto
the sensing stage and interpreted as decoherence. In this work, we approach this issue in a systematic manner. Focussing firstly on pure states, we demonstrate how the form of the quantum Fisher information must be modified to account for noisy detection, and propose tractable methods allowing for its approximate evaluation. We then show that in canonical scenarios involving $N$ probes with local measurements undergoing readout noise, the optimal sensitivity dramatically changes its behaviour depending whether global or local control operations are allowed to counterbalance measurement imperfections. In the former case, we prove that the ideal sensitivity (e.g. the Heisenberg scaling) can always be recovered in the asymptotic $N$ limit, while in the latter the readout noise fundamentally constrains the quantum enhancement of sensitivity to a constant factor. We illustrate our findings with an example of an NV-centre measured via the repetitive readout procedure, as well as schemes involving spin-1/2 probes with bit-flip errors affecting their two-outcome measurements, for which we find the input states and control unitary operations sufficient to attain the ultimate asymptotic precision.
We analyze simultaneous quantum estimations of multiple parameters with postselection measurements in terms of a tradeoff relation. The system, or a sensor, is characterized by a set of parameters, interacts with a measurement apparatus (MA), and the
n is postselected onto a set of orthonormal final states. Measurements of the MA yield an estimation of the parameters. We first derive classical and quantum Cramer-Rao lower bounds and then discuss their archivable condition and the tradeoffs in the postselection measurements in general, including the case when a sensor is in mixed state. Its whole information can, in principle, be obtained via the MA which is not possible without postselection. We, then, apply the framework to simultaneous measurements of phase and its fluctuation as an example.
