• Abstract: Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) is a powerful method for label-free imaging and spectroscopy of materials. Recent experiments have shown that quantum-enhanced Raman scattering can surpass the shot noise limit and improve the sensitivity substantially. Here, we introduce a full theory of quantum-enhanced SRS based on the framework of quantum metrology. Our results enable the assessment of quantum-enhancements of arbitrary measurement strategies and identify optimal measurement observables that extract maximal information about the signal. We use this to identify the optimal employment of squeezed states in SRS, highlighting the potential to improve quantum gains beyond those observed in recent experiments. Our work establishes the theoretical foundation for understanding and approaching the quantum limits of precision in SRS, and provide a tool to discuss nonlinear spectroscopy and imaging more broadly.

  "analytic Bloch-Messiah decomposition" provides approach for characterizing dynamics of quantum optical systems. We show that avoided crossings arise naturally when a single parameter is varied, leading to hypersensitivity of the singular vectors. We highlight the possibility of programming the spectral response of photonic systems through the deliberate design of avoided crossings.

  We propose to tailor the local density of states (LDOS) of plasmonic resonances by integrating with a photonic cavity operating at a chiral exceptional point (CEP) A quantized few-mode theory is employed to reveal that the LDOS of the proposed hybrid cavity can evolve into sub-tzian lineshape, with order-of-magnitude linewidth narrowing. This results in the enhanced coherent light-matter interaction accompanied by the reduced dissipation of polaritonic states.
