• Abstract: Phase estimation is a major mission in quantum metrology, especially in quantum interferometry. A full phase estimation scheme usually includes the optimal probe state and measurement. For the finite-dimensional states in Fock basis, the N00N state ceases to be optimal when the average particle number is fixed yet not equal to the state dimension minus one, and what is the true optimal finite-dimensional probe state in this case is still undiscovered. Hereby we present several theorems to answer this question and provide a complete optimal scheme to realize the ultimate precision limit in practice. These optimal finite-dimensional probe states reveal an important fact that the state dimension could be treated as a metrological resource, and the given scheme is particularly useful in scenarios where weak light or limited particle number is demanded.

  We show that our protocol can achieve Heisenberg scaling (1/N) with product probe states, surpassing the standard quantum limit (1/sqrtN) Although we analytically prove the optimality of the symmetric product probe state in ITDM, entangled probe states produce a higher QFI than optimal product probes without enhancing scaling. Our findings reveal the best orientation of product probe states in every pertinent situation, emphasizing its independence from the parameter to be estimated in the limiting case.

  This paper theoretically examines the suboptimality arising from a Procrustes problem for minimizing the average distance between two fixed quantum states. We show that the suboptimality ratio is independent of the dimension of the full space, and is at most polylogarithmic in the dimension of the low-rank subspace.

• Fundamental limitations of time measurement precision in Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry [0.0]
  In quantum mechanics, the precision achieved in parameter estimation using a quantum state as a probe is determined by the measurement strategy employed. We show that the scaling of precision with visibility depends on the effective area in time-frequency phase space occupied by the state used as a probe, and we find that an optimal scaling exists.

  The minimal-length paradigm is a possible implication of quantum gravity at low energies. We show that this modification is equivalent to a cut-off in the space conjugate to the position representation. We find a direct relation between the ensuing bound in wave-number space and the minimal-length scale.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

Knowledge of the optimal acceptance rate allows one to automatically tune the neighborhood size of a proposal distribution in a discrete space, directly analogous to step-size control in continuous spaces.
