Single-shot single-mode optical two-parameter displacement estimation beyond classical limit

Quantum Physics 2025-06-16 v1

Abstract

Uncertainty principle prohibits the precise measurement of both components of displacement parameters in phase space. We have theoretically shown that this limit can be beaten using single-photon states, in a single-shot and single-mode setting [F. Hanamura et al., Phys. Rev. A 104, 062601 (2021)]. In this paper, we validate this by experimentally beating the classical limit. In optics, this is the first experiment to estimate both parameters of displacement using non-Gaussian states. This result is related to many important applications, such as quantum error correction.
