• Title: Discrete-outcome sensor networks: Multiple detection events and grouping detectors
• Authors: Nada Ali, Mark Hillery,
• Abstract summary: We study discrete-outcome quantum sensor networks, discrete in the sense that we are seeking answers to yes-no questions. One issue is what is a good initial state for the network, and, in particular, should it be entangled or not. In the case of grouping detectors, entangled initial states can be helpful.

• Abstract: Quantum sensor networks have often been studied in order to determine how accurately they can determine a parameter, such as the strength of a magnetic field, at one of the detectors. A more coarse-grained approach is to try to simply determine whether a detector has interacted with a signal or not, and which detector it was. Such discrete-outcome quantum sensor networks, discrete in the sense that we are seeking answers to yes-no questions, are what we study here. One issue is what is a good initial state for the network, and, in particular, should it be entangled or not. Earlier we looked at the case when only one detector interacted, and here we extend that study in two ways. First, we allow more that one detector to interact, and second, we examine the effect of grouping the detectors. When the detectors are grouped we are only interested in which group contained interacting detectors and not in which individual detectors within a group interacted. We find that in the case of grouping detectors, entangled initial states can be helpful.

  We consider two comoving two-level detectors at a coincident spatial position. The detectors are individually coupled to a scalar field, which eventually leads to coupling between the two detectors. We compute the logarithmic negativity, quantifying the degree of entanglement generated at late times between the two detectors.

  Two entangled detectors are moving on circular trajectories in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We calculate the transition probability rates of the detectors in the Minkowski vacuum and in a thermal bath. We evaluate the transition probability rates of the detectors when they are switched on for a finite time interval.

We find that none of these simple two-detector networks are capable of improving the sensitivity over applying networks individually to the data from the detectors.

We propose a computationally efficient online sensing scheme, which seamlessly balances the need for exploration of different sensing options with exploitation of querying informative actions.
