• Title: Using Schroedinger cat quantum state for detection of a given phase shift
• Authors: V. L. Gorshenin,
• Abstract summary: In principle, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The value of this phase shift is inversely proportional to the amplitudes of both the classical carrier and Shroedinger cat state. By measuring the number of photons at the output dark port, it is possible to detect the phase shift with the vanishing "false positive" probability.

• Abstract: We show that injecting a light pulse prepared in the Shroedinger cat quantum state into the dark port of a two-arm interferometer and the strong classical light into the bright one, it is possible, in principle, to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The value of this phase shift is inversely proportional to the amplitudes of both the classical carrier and Shroedinger cat state. However, an exotic detection procedure is required for this purpose. By measuring the number of photons at the output dark port, it is possible to detect the phase shift with the vanishing "false positive" probability. The "false negative" probability in this case decreases with the increase on the amplitude of the Schroedinger cat state and, for reasonable values of this amplitude, can be made as small as about 0.1.

• Using non-Gaussian quantum states for detection of a given phase shift [0.0]
  Injecting a non-Gaussian (Fock or Shr"odinger cat) quantum state into the dark port of a two-arm interferometer and a strong classical light into the bright one, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The optical losses degrade the sensitivity, introducing the finite "false positive" and "false negative" detection errors. Using the state-of-art photodetectors, it is still possible to obtain better detection fidelity than in the case of Gaussian quantum states.

  Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss. Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states. Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

We anticipate that on-chip photonic systems like this, which operate with low power and integrate all of the needed functionality on a single die, will open new opportunities for quantum optical sensing.
