• Abstract: The precision enhancement is demonstrated in an optical spatial measurement based on weak value amplification (WVA) system and split-like detection, by injecting a TEM10 squeezed vacuum beam. It is the first time combining the WVA technique and squeezed beam injection to experimentally realize high-precision optical spatial measurement beyond the standard quantum limit. As a result, the precision enhancement of 1.3 times can be achieved at 500kHz by adding a squeezed beam in the vacuum input port of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The minimum measurable displacement is reduced from 1.08pm to 0.85pm and the corresponding minimum measurable tilt is reduced from 0.86prad to 0.67prad. Moreover, the spatial measurement at low-frequency band is also implemented and the SNR is improved 2dB at 4kHz. Our work provides an effective method to accomplish higher precision in optical spatial measurement, which has potential applications in gravitational wave interferometer calibration, super-resolution quantum imaging, etc.

  We propose to use spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) as a noise-robust approach for estimating the motion characteristics of an optical point-like source.

We are able to reconstruct arbitrary states in under 1 ms with an average fidelity of 96.9%.
