• Abstract: We propose to use the antisqueezing-enhanced non-Gaussian Schrödinger cat quantum states of the probing light for the task of detection of a given phase shift in optical interferometers. We show that the antisqueezing allows to increase the robustness of the setup to optical losses. We find the optimal degrees of the antisqueezing for experimentally achievable values of the Schrödinger cat amplitude and the optical losses and compare the resulting sensitivity with the one provided by the Gaussian squeezed states.

• Flux-pump induced degradation of $T_1$ for dissipative cat qubits [42.110730614476104]
  Dissipative stabilization of cat qubits autonomously corrects for bit flip errors by ensuring that reservoir-engineered two-photon losses dominate over other mechanisms inducing phase flip errors. We analyze the dressing of relaxation processes under drives in time-dependent Schrieffer-Wolff perturbation theory for weakly anharmonic bosonic degrees of freedom. We find that spurious single-photon decay rates can increase under the action of the parametric pump that generates the required interactions for cat-qubit stabilization.

• Using non-Gaussian quantum states for detection of a given phase shift [0.0]
  Injecting a non-Gaussian (Fock or Shr"odinger cat) quantum state into the dark port of a two-arm interferometer and a strong classical light into the bright one, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The optical losses degrade the sensitivity, introducing the finite "false positive" and "false negative" detection errors. Using the state-of-art photodetectors, it is still possible to obtain better detection fidelity than in the case of Gaussian quantum states.

• Using Schroedinger cat quantum state for detection of a given phase shift [0.0]
  In principle, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The value of this phase shift is inversely proportional to the amplitudes of both the classical carrier and Shroedinger cat state. By measuring the number of photons at the output dark port, it is possible to detect the phase shift with the vanishing "false positive" probability.

  We formulate a passive quantum detector based on a quantum hypothesis testing framework under the setting of finite sample size. Under the assumption that the attacker adopts separable optimal strategies, we derive that the worst-case average error bound converges to zero exponentially. We adopt our formulations upon a case study of detection with quantum radars.

• Protecting the quantum interference of cat states by phase-space compression [45.82374977939355]
  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features. Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.
