An experimentally implementable model is considered to perform three different non-Gaussian operations, namely photon subtraction (PS), photon addition (PA), and photon catalysis (PC) on a single-mode squeezed vacuum (SSV) state. The findings reveal that all non-Gaussian operations except one PC operation provide an advantage in either of the measurement schemes. This result is further supported by the analysis of the quantum Cramér–Rao bound. When accounting for the success probability of non-Gaussian operations, two-PC and four-PA emerges as the most optimal operations in difference-intensity and parity detection-based MZI, respectively. Additionally, the corresponding squeezing and transmissivity parameters that yields the best performance are identified, making the study relevant for experimentalists.

Especially the presence of controllable non-conservative processes in optical and photonic systems has triggered the development of singularity-based sensing. By flexibly tuning gain, loss, and coupling strength, a series of high-resolution sensing approaches can be realized, with the potential of on-chip integration. Another important non-Hermitian singularity is the coherent perfect absorption-lasing (CPAL) point in the PT-broken phase, which manifests the coexistence of lasing and CPA, exhibiting intriguing properties with considerable sensing potential. As a crucial method for quantum sensing and metrology, the interaction between light and alkali-metal atomic ensembles promises unprecedented sensitivity in the measurement of ultra-weak magnetic field, inertia, and time. Therefore, extending the study of PT-symmetry and singularity-based sensing from conventional solid-state wave systems to diffusive systems such as atomic ensembles is attracting wide attention. In this review, the development of singularity-based sensing in PT/anti-PT symmetric non-Hermitian systems is summarized, with a special focus on photonic platforms including integration with waveguides, microcavities, metasurface, etc. In addition, sensing applications with discussion further extended to atomic ensembles, projecting future research trends in the field.</p>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
