• Authors: K. J. H. Peters and S. R. K. Rodriguez
• Abstract summary: We propose a single-mode Kerr-nonlinear resonator for exceptional sensing in noisy environments. Our sensor has a signal-to-noise ratio that increases with the measurement speed, and a precision enhanced at the square-root singularity. Remarkably, averaging the signal can quickly enhance and then degrade the precision.

• Abstract: Exceptional points (EPs) -- spectral singularities of non-Hermitian linear systems -- have recently attracted great interest for sensing. While initial proposals and experiments focused on enhanced sensitivities neglecting noise, subsequent studies revealed issues with EP sensors in noisy environments. Here we propose a single-mode Kerr-nonlinear resonator for exceptional sensing in noisy environments. Based on the resonator's dynamic hysteresis, we define a signal that displays a square-root singularity akin to an EP. In contrast to EP sensors, our sensor has a signal-to-noise ratio that increases with the measurement speed, and a precision enhanced at the square-root singularity. Remarkably, averaging the signal can quickly enhance and then degrade the precision. These unconventional features open up new opportunities for fast and precise sensing beyond the constraints of linear systems. While we focus on optical sensing, our approach can be extended to other hysteretic systems.

  We experimentally demonstrate universal non-Hermitian sensing in the absence of exceptional points. The scheme makes use of the intrinsic sensitivity of a non-Hermitian probe to weak external fields, which can be understood as the direct consequence of non-Hermiticity. Our experiment opens the avenue of enhanced sensing without exceptional points, complementing existing efforts aimed at harnessing the unique features of open systems.

  We propose a new sensing mechanism to enhance the sensitivity of a quantum system to nonlinearities by homodyning the amplitude quadrature of the cavity field. We find that this singularity is very sensitive to the two-photon drive and nonlinearity of the system, and compared to the previous nonlinearity sensor, the proposed sensor achieves an unprecedented sensitivity around the singularity point.

• Enhancing interferometer sensitivity without sacrificing bandwidth and stability: beyond single-mode and resolved-sideband approximation [9.253130051773992]
  Quantum noise limits the sensitivity of precision measurement devices, such as laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatories and axion detectors. One approach to circumvent this limitation in gravitational-wave detectors is to embed an anomalous-dispersion optomechanical filter to broaden the bandwidth. The original filter cavity design, however, makes the entire system unstable. Recently, we proposed the coherent feedback between the arm cavity and the optomechanical filter to eliminate the instability via PT-symmetry. We show that the main conclusion concerning stability remains intact, with both Nyquist analysis and a detailed time-domain simulation.
