• Abstract summary: It is often thought that the super-sensitivity of a quantum state to an observable comes at the cost of a decreased sensitivity to other non-commuting observables. This misconception was cleared with the introduction of the compass state, a quantum state equally super-sensitive to displacements in position and momentum. N00N states are known to be more advantageous than classical methods as long as they are aligned to the rotation axis.

• Abstract: It is often thought that the super-sensitivity of a quantum state to an observable comes at the cost of a decreased sensitivity to other non-commuting observables. For example, a squeezed state squeezed in position quadrature is super-sensitive to position displacements, but very insensitive to momentum displacements. This misconception was cleared with the introduction of the compass state, a quantum state equally super-sensitive to displacements in position and momentum. When looking at quantum states used to measure spin rotations, N00N states are known to be more advantageous than classical methods as long as they are aligned to the rotation axis. When considering the estimation of a rotation with unknown direction and amplitude, a certain class of states stands out with interesting properties. These states are equally sensitive to rotations around any axis, are second-order unpolarized, and can possess the rotational properties of platonic solids in particular dimensions. Importantly, these states are optimal for simultaneously estimating the three parameters describing a rotation. In the asymptotic limit, estimating all d parameters describing a transformation simultaneously rather than sequentially can lead to a reduction of the appropriately-weighted sum of the measured parameters' variances by a factor of d. We report the experimental creation and characterization of the lowest-dimensional such state, which we call the "tetrahedron state" due to its tetrahedral symmetry. This tetrahedron state is created in the symmetric subspace of four optical photons' polarization in a single spatial and temporal mode, which behaves as a spin-2 particle. While imperfections due to the hardware limit the performance of our method, we argue that better technology can improve our method to the point of outperforming any other existing strategy in per-photon comparisons.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
