• Abstract: A nonlinear phase shift is introduced to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), and we present a scheme for enhancing the phase sensitivity. In our scheme, one input port of a standard MZI is injected with a coherent state and the other input port is injected with one mode of a two-mode squeezed-vacuum state. The final interference output of the MZI is detected with the method of active correlation output readout. Based on the optimal splitting ratio of beam splitters, the phase sensitivity can beat the standard quantum limit and approach the quantum Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound. The effects of photon loss on phase sensitivity are discussed. Our scheme can also provide some estimates for units of $\chi^{(3)}$, due to the relation between the nonlinear phase shift and the susceptibility $\chi^{(3)}$ of the Kerr medium.

  We derive a closed-form achievable rate for entanglement-assisted classical communication over a lossy bosonic channel, where the entanglement is in the form of a Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum (TMSV) modulation restricted to Phase Shift Keying (PSK) The achievable rate is non-asymptotic in terms of the mean signal photon number, mean noise photon number, and transmissivity defining the communication channel.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes. We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.

• Tunable linear-optical phase amplification [41.94295877935867]
  We combine phase-only transformations with fully-transmitting linear-optical scatterers to define the principle of linear-optical phase amplification. A particular phase amplifier is experimentally realized, allowing the phase enhancement parameter $dgamma/dphi$ to be continuously tuned. Placing this enhanced phase shifter in one arm of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer led to an intensity-phase slope more than twenty times steeper than what can be obtained with its unamplified counterpart.

  We show that supersensitive phase estimation is achievable by textitincoherent, e.g., textitthermal, light injected into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer via a Kerr-nonlinear two-mode coupler. Phase error is shown to be reduced below $1/barn$, $barn$ being the mean photon number, by thermal input in such interferometric setups.

  We present a theoretical description of spatially multimode SU (1,1) interferometers operating at low and high parametric gains. Our approach is based on a step-by-step solution of a system of integro-differential equations for each nonlinear interaction region. We investigate plane-wave and Gaussian pumping and show that for any parametric gain, there exists a region of phases for which the phase sensitivity surpasses the standard shot-noise scaling.
