• Abstract: Sensing and measurement tasks in severely adverse conditions such as loss, noise and dephasing can be improved by illumination with quantum states of light. Previous results have shown a modest reduction in the number of measurements necessary to achieve a given precision. Here, we compare three illumination strategies for estimating the relative phase in a noisy, lossy interferometer. When including a common phase fluctuation in the noise processes, we show that using an entangled probe achieves an advantage in parameter estimation precision that scales with the number of entangled modes. This work provides a theoretical foundation for the use of highly multimode entangled states of light for practical measurement tasks in experimentally challenging conditions.

  We experimentally reconstruct different wavefronts by means of a point diffraction interferometer for different mean intensities of illumination. For two cases of interest, a spatial qudit encoding phase, consisting of d = 6 uniform phase regions, and a more general continuous phase, we see that reducing the readout noise leads to a clear improvement in the quality of reconstruction.

We find that the neural network-based scheme provides a significant speed-up, that may be critical in applications requiring a characterization in real-time. We expect these results to lay the groundwork for the optimization of tomographic approaches in more general quantum processes.

  Non-Gaussian states of an optical field are important as a proposed resource in quantum information applications. We propose a novel approach involving displacement of the ancilla field into the regime where mesoscopic detectors can be used. We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.
