Signal detection without finite-energy limits to quantum resolution

Quantum Physics 2013-01-17 v2

Abstract

We show that there are extremely simple signal detection schemes where the finiteness of energy resources places no limit to the resolution. On the contrary, larger resolution can be obtained with lower energy. To this end the generator of the signal-dependent transformation encoding the signal information on the probe state must be different from the energy. We show that the larger the deviation of the probe state from being minimum-uncertainty state, the better the resolution.
