• Abstract: We present a sensing scheme for estimating the frequency difference of two non-entangled photons. The technique consists of time-resolving sampling measurements at the output of a beam splitter. With this protocol, the frequency shift between two photons can be estimated with the ultimate precision achievable in nature, overcoming the limits in precision and the range of detection of frequency-resolving detectors employed in standard direct measurements of the frequencies. The sensitivity can be increased by increasing the coherence time of the photons. We show that, already with $\sim 1000$ sampling measurements, the Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound is saturated independently of the value of the difference in frequency.

  We model the 4-level and 5-level atomic system and compare how the transmission of the probe changes with different powers of the lasers used and strengths of the RF field. We find that the three-photon system boasts much narrower line widths compared to the conventional two-photon EIT. In addition to this, we calculate the expected sensitivity for the two-photon Rydberg sensor and find that the best achievable sensitivity is over an order of magnitude better than the current measured values of 5 uV/m/Hz.

  We demonstrate the ultimate sensitivity allowed by quantum physics in the estimation of the time delay between two photons by measuring their interference at a beam-splitter. This sensitivity can be increased quadratically by decreasing the photonic temporal bandwidth. Applications can range from more feasible imaging of nanostructures, including biological samples, to quantum enhanced estimation based on frequency-resolved boson sampling in optical networks.
