• Abstract: The SU(1,1) interferometer introduced by Yurke, McCall, Klauder is reformulated starting from the Hamiltonian of two identical optical downconversion processes with opposite pump phases. From the four optical modes, two are singled out up to a relative phase by the assumption of exact alignment of the interferometer (i.e., mode indistinguishability). The state of the two resulting modes is parametrized by the nonlinearity $g$, the relative phase $\phi$, and a dynamical phase $\theta$ resulting from the interaction time. The optimal operating point for sensing the relative phase (dynamical phase) is found to be $\phi = \pi$ ($\theta=0$) with quantum Fisher information exhibiting Heisenberg scaling $E^{2}$ (logarithmically modified Heisenberg scaling $\left({E\over \ln E}\right)^{2}$). Compared to the predictions of the circuit-based model, we find in that in the Hamiltonian model: 1. the optimal operating points occur for a non-vacuum state inside the interferometer, and 2. measurement of the total photon number operator does not provide an estimate of the relative or dynamical phase with precision that saturates the quantum Cramer-Rao bound, whereas an observable based on weighted shift operators becomes optimal as $g$ increases. The results indicate a first-principles approach for describing general optical quantum sensors containing multiple optical downconversion processes.

  We study the nontrivial renormalization-group scenario of fixed-point annihilation in spin-boson models. We find a tunable transition between two localized phases that can be continuous or strongly first-order. We also find scaling behavior at the symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, for which the inverse correlation-length exponent is given by the bath exponent.
