• Abstract: Dispersive coupling is widely utilized for quantum information readout. Most prior studies have concentrated on reciprocal dispersive coupling. Here, we further construct nonreciprocal dispersive coupling and apply it to quantum sensing. For cavity photon number measurement, nonreciprocal dispersive coupling delivers higher precision than its reciprocal counterpart, and this advantage grows more pronounced with an increase in photon number. When directly measuring the single-photon driving strength, however, nonreciprocal dispersive coupling shows no superiority over reciprocal dispersive coupling. By converting the information of driving strength into cavity photon numbers via our proposed strategy, nonreciprocal dispersive coupling again outperforms reciprocal dispersive coupling in precision, with the advantage becoming increasingly significant at larger driving strength. This work presents a novel method to boost quantum sensing and enable the fabrication of ultra-precise quantum sensors.
