Inside Front Cover: Nonlocality Enhanced Precision in Quantum Polarimetry via Entangled Photons (Adv. Quantum Technol. 11/2024)

Abstract

A quantum polarimetry method using entangled photons to improve measurement precision is introduced in article number 2400059 by Ali Pedram, Vira R. Besaga, Frank Setzpfandt, and Özgür E. Müstecaplıoğlu. By calculating precision bounds and estimating the rotation angle of optical elements, both theoretically and experimentally, it is shown that the capability of entanglement to enhance accuracy is diminished with noise. Experimental noise induces bias in estimators, reducing accuracy and precision depending on chosen estimators and noise channels.
