Sensing with Quantum Light: A perspective

Quantum Physics 2025-04-22 v1

Abstract

I present my perspective on sensing with quantum light. I summarise the motivations and methodology for identifying quantum enhancements in sensing over a classical sensor. In the real world, this enhancement will be a constant factor, and not increase with the size of the quantum probe as is often advertised. I use a limited survey of interferometry, microscopy, and spectroscopy to extract the vital challenges that must be faced to realise tangible enhancements in sensing with quantum light.
