Quantum limits on detection sensitivity of a linear detector with feedback

Quantum Physics 2017-03-08 v2

Abstract

We show that the detection sensitivity of a linear detector is lower bounded by some quantum limits. For the force detection, relevant for atomic force microscopes, the lower bound is given by the so-called ultimate quantum limit. For the displacement detection, relevant for detecting gravitational waves, a generalized lower bound is obtained.
