• Abstract summary: We investigate the precision limits of polarization rotation angle estimation about a known rotation axis in a quantum polarimetric process. The diattenuator and depolarizer channels, acting on the probe state, can be thought of as effective noise processes. The effects of the noise channels as well as their ordering is analyzed on the estimation error of the rotation angle to characterize practical and optimal quantum probe states.

• Abstract: Classical polarimetry is a well-established discipline with diverse applications across different branches of science. The burgeoning interest in leveraging quantum resources to achieve highly sensitive measurements has spurred researchers to elucidate the behavior of polarized light within a quantum mechanical framework, thereby fostering the development of a quantum theory of polarimetry. In this work, drawing inspiration from polarimetric investigations in biological tissues, we investigate the precision limits of polarization rotation angle estimation about a known rotation axis, in a quantum polarimetric process, comprising three distinct quantum channels. The rotation angle to be estimated is induced by the retarder channel on the Stokes vector of the probe state. The diattenuator and depolarizer channels, acting on the probe state, can be thought of as effective noise processes. We explore the precision constraints inherent in quantum polarimetry by evaluating the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for probe states of significance in quantum metrology, namely NOON, Kings of Quantumness, and Coherent states. The effects of the noise channels as well as their ordering is analyzed on the estimation error of the rotation angle to characterize practical and optimal quantum probe states for quantum polarimetry. Furthermore, we propose an experimental framework tailored for NOON state quantum polarimetry, aiming to bridge theoretical insights with empirical validation.

  We estimate the deficit angle parameter by calculating its quantum Fisher information(QFI) It is found that the quantum Fisher information depends on the deficit angle, evolution time, detector initial state, polarization direction, and its position. Our results show that for different polarization cases the QFIs have different behaviors and different orders of magnitude, which may shed light on the exploration of cosmic string spacetime.
