In its most famous postulation, it relates the fundamental uncertainty in the knowledge of both a particle\u2019s momentum and position, simultaneously. The product of the uncertainties has a lower bound; improving precision in measurement of one value generally reduces precision in the other. Even approaching the quantum limit is tricky, but researchers across the world are determined to improve their measurement techniques until it is reached. Investigation into this fundamental problem has given rise to the field of quantum metrology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One team at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.sjtu.edu.cn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shanghai Jiao Tong University<\/a> recently published work in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-023-36661-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nature Communications<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> detailing their tremendous progress in the field of quantum metrology.

A cornerstone of quantum metrology is the concept of quantum parameter estimation (QPE).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The QPE process is detailed in Fig. 1. An initial quantum state, known as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">probe<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> state, undergoes an evolution into a final state, called the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parametrized <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">state. Information about the factors contributing to the evolution of the state (the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parameters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) can be deduced by measuring the parametrized state. With careful selection of the measurement, researchers can estimate one or more parameters with the maximum precision allowed, called the Quantum Cram\u00e9r-Rao (QCR) bounds. However, when the estimated parameters are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">incompatible<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or non-commuting, a much tighter restriction is placed on the measurement, and one is unable to achieve the QCR bounds for all parameters involved. Since the most well-known combination of incompatible parameters are position and momentum, if a probe state undergoes both a position and momentum shift, the values of the parameters cannot both be determined with optimal precision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16031 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM-1024x275.png\" alt=\"The quantum parameter estimation measurement sequence.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM-1024x275.png 1024w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM-300x81.png 300w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM-768x206.png 768w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM-600x161.png 600w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.08.42\u202fAM.png 1046w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure 1: The quantum parameter estimation measurement sequence.

First the team created a probe using a superposition state of the laser beam, with horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarizations as the classical 0 and 1 states.

The Moku:Lab Spectrum Analyzer and Lock-in Amplifier instruments are indicated. Figure reproduced from publication<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An MZI uses a polarization beam splitter (PBS) to split the signal into two paths, which are later recombined through another beamsplitter. When recombined, the two beams will constructively or destructively interfere depending on their relative phase. The signal is then collected by two photode<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tectors (PD). From that, researchers can deduce the difference between the beam paths. In one arm of<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the MZI, the team placed a piezoelectric device to give <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the beam<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a small displacement and angular rotation \u2014 a \u201ckick\u201d in both position and momentum. The magnitude of these parameters could normally be determined individually by measuring the final state and comparing it with the initial probe state. However, since position and momentum are incompatible parameters, they both cannot be measured simultaneously with optimal precision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The workaround the team came up with was to depart from a traditional Gaussian laser beam profile. The team found that using higher-order Hermite-Gaussian (HG) laser beam profiles as the probe states meant that the piezoelectric device imparted a larger variance in the momentum and position kicks to the system, which allowed them to estimate incompatible parameters more precisely. Increasing the number of modes of the beam allowed them to approach closer to the quantum limit, as seen in Fig. 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16034 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.14.04\u202fAM-1.png\" alt=\"quantum multiparamter estimation data plot\" width=\"712\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.14.04\u202fAM-1.png 712w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.14.04\u202fAM-1-300x280.png 300w, https:\/\/liquidinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-24-at-10.14.04\u202fAM-1-600x560.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure 3: Multiparameter estimation.
