Suppose we have an ensemble of N states | = (|0 + ei |1)/2,
and we measure the following observable: A = |0 1| + |1 0|


The expectation value is given by: |A| = N cos 
and the variance (A)2 is given by: N(1cos2)

The unknown phase can be estimated with accuracy:

This example disproves the
N00N Conjecture: “That it
Takes At Least N Modes to
Make N00N.”
The upper bound on the resources scales quadratically!
Upper bound theorem:
The maximal size of a
N00N state generated in
m modes via single
photon detection in m-2
modes is O(m2).
HIGH FLUX 2-PHOTON NOON STATES
From a High-Gain OPA (Theory)
We present a theoretical analysis of the properties of an unseeded
optical parametric amplifier (OPA) used as the source of
entangled photons.
OPA Scheme
The idea is to take known bright sources of
entangled photons coupled to number resolving
detectors and see if this can be used in LOQC,
while we wait for the single photon sources.

Optimization of Quantum Interferometric Metrological Sensors In the

We optimize two-mode, entangled, number states of light in the presence of
loss in order to maximize the extraction of the available phase information in an
interferometer. Our approach optimizes over the entire available input Hilbert
space with no constraints, other than fixed total initial photon number.

Lossy State Comparison
PHYSICAL REVIEW A, 80 (6): Art. No. 063803 DEC 2009
Here we take the optimal state, outputted by the code, at
each loss level and project it on to one of three know
states, NOON, M&M, and Generalized Coherent.
The conclusion from this plot is that
The optimal states found by the
computer code are N00N states for
very low loss, M&M states for
intermediate loss, and generalized
coherent states for high loss.
This graph supports the assertion
that a Type-II sensor with coherent
light but a non-classical
detection scheme is optimal for
very high loss.
Super-Resolution at the Shot-Noise Limit with Coherent States

We show that coherent light coupled with a quantum
detection scheme — parity measurement! — can provide a
super-resolution much below the Rayleigh diffraction
limit, with sensitivity at the shot-noise limit in terms of the
detected photon power.
