• Abstract: By choosing more orthogonality between pre-selection and post-selection states, one can significantly improve the sensitivity in the general optical quantum metrology based on the weak-value amplification (WVA) approach. However, increasing the orthogonality decreases the probability of detecting photons and makes the weak measurement difficult, especially when the weak measurement is disturbed by strong noise and the pointer is drowned in noise with a negative-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this article, we investigate a modified weak measurement protocol with a temporal pointer, namely, the auto-correlative weak-value amplification (AWVA) approach. Specifically, a small longitudinal time delay (tiny phase shift) $\tau$ of a Gaussian pulse is measured by implementing two simultaneous auto-correlative weak measurements under Gaussian white noise with different SNR. The small quantities $\tau$ are obtained by measuring the auto-correlation coefficient of the pulses instead of fitting the shift of the mean value of the probe in the standard WVA technique. Simulation results show that the AWVA approach outperforms the standard WVA technique in the time domain with smaller statistical errors, remarkably increasing the precision of weak measurement under strong noise background.

  We introduce an ultra-sensitive interferometric protocol that combines weak value amplification with traditional interferometry. This WVA+interferometry protocol uses weak value amplification of the relative delay between two paths to enhance the interferometric sensitivity. We experimentally demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio can be improved by one to three orders of magnitude.

  Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) techniques have made notable advancements in preserving image details and enhancing contrast. These approaches encounter persistent challenges in efficiently mitigating dynamic noise and accommodating diverse low-light scenarios. We first propose a method for estimating the noise level in low light images in a quick and accurate way. We then devise a Learnable Illumination Interpolator (LII) to satisfy general constraints between illumination and input.
