Abstract: Absorption and gain processes are fundamental to any light-matter interaction and a precise measurement of these parameters is important for various scientific and technological applications. Quantum probes, specifically the squeezed states have proved very successful, particularly in the applications that deal with phase shift and force measurements. In this paper, we focus on improving the sensitivity of the estimation of the photon loss coefficient of a weakly absorbing medium as well as the estimation of the gain parameter using a two-mode bright squeezed state. The generation of this state combines the advantage of a coherent beam for its large photon number with the quantum properties of the two-mode squeezing operation in an optical parametric amplifier. We present two measurement schemes: balanced photodetection and time-reversed metrology, both utilizing two-mode bright squeezed light. The maximum quantum advantage we can achieve using two-mode bright squeezed light is 3.7 times for the absorption parameter $\alpha = 0.05$ and 8.4 times for $\alpha = 0.01$ as compared to using only the coherent state. Similarly, the maximum quantum advantage for the estimation of optical gain is found around 2.81 times for the gain coefficient $G=1.05$ and around 6.28 times for $G=1.01$. We discuss the significance of using one measurement scheme over the other under different squeezing conditions. We compare our results with the Cram\'er-Rao bound for a two-mode bright squeezed state to assess the quality of the proposed methodologies.

Incoherent Measurement of Sub-10 kHz Optical Linewidths [0.0]
The most common tool for measuring narrow optical homogeneous linewidths, i.e. long $T$, is the measurement of coherent photon echo emissions. This strongly hampers the development of nano-materials, such as those based on rare earth ions, for quantum communication and processing. In this work we propose, and demonstrate in an erbium doped crystal, a measurement of photon echoes based on incoherent fluorescence detection and its variance analysis.

We present a photonic integrated circuit fabricated in thin-film lithium niobate. We use the second-order nonlinearity to produce a squeezed state at the same frequency as the pump light and realize circuit control and sensing with electro-optics. 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.

Scheme for sub-shot-noise transmission measurement using a time multiplexed single-photon source [0.0]
We simulate an experiment that uses a multiplexed single-photon source based on pair generation by continuous spontaneous parametric down conversion. With such source, the sub-Poissonian statistics of the output signal is the key for achieving sub-shot-noise performance. Results show that sub-shot-noise performance can be achieved, even without using number-resolving detectors.
