- Abstract summary: We revisit the idea of quantum nondemolition measurement (QND) of optical quanta.
We show that the monolithic microcavities enable QND measurement of number of quanta in a weak signal field.
We show that the best modern monolithic microcavities allow achieving the measurement imprecision several times better than the standard quantum limit.

- Abstract: We revisit the idea of quantum nondemolition measurement (QND) of optical
quanta via a resonantly enhanced Kerr nonlinearity taking into account quantum
back action and show that the monolithic microcavities enable QND measurement
of number of quanta in a weak signal field using a spatially overlapping
classical probe field. Due to the cross-phase modulation effect, the phase of
the probe field acquires information about the signal number of quanta without
altering it. We find the exact solution to the Heisenberg equations of motion
of this system and calculate the measurement error, accounting for the optical
losses in the measurement path. We identify a realistic approximation to obtain
the explicit form of the final conditional quantum state of the signal field,
accounting for the undesirable self-phase modulation effect and designing the
optimal homodyne measurement of the probe beam to evade this effect. We show
that the best modern monolithic microcavities allow achieving the measurement
imprecision several times better than the standard quantum limit.

We show that by using a squeezed quantum state of the probe beam and the anti-squeezing beam at the output of the microresonator, it is possible to reduce the measurement imprecision by about one order of magnitude.
The resulting sensitivity allows to generate and verify multi-photon non-Gaussian quantum states of light.

We show that a coherent pump field driving a phase-mismatched optical parametric amplifier (OPA) experiences displacements conditioned on the number of signal Bogoliubov excitations.
A measurement of the pump displacement thus provides a QND measurement of the signal Bogoliubov excitations, projecting the signal mode to a squeezed photon-number state.
