Criterion on remote clocks synchronization within a Heisenberg scaling accuracy

Quantum Physics 2013-11-20 v2

Abstract

We propose a quantum method to judge whether two spatially separated clocks have been synchronized within a specific accuracy σ\sigma. If the measurement result of the experiment is obviously a nonzero value, the time difference between two clocks is smaller than σ\sigma; otherwise the difference is beyond σ\sigma. On sharing the 2NN-qubit bipartite maximally entangled state in this scheme, the accuracy of judgement can be enhanced to σπ/(ω(N+1))\sigma\sim{\pi}/{(\omega(N+1))}. This criterion is consistent with Heisenberg scaling that can be considered as beating standard quantum limit, moreover, the unbiased estimation condition is not necessary.
