Conventional classical sensors are approaching their maximum sensitivity levels in many areas. Yet these levels are still far from the ultimate limits dictated by quantum mechanics. Quantum sensors promise a substantial step ahead by taking advantage of the salient sensitivity of quantum states to the environment. Here, we focus on sensing rotations, a topic of broad application. By resorting to the basic tools of estimation theory, we derive states that achieve the ultimate sensitivities in…

Quantum limits to polarization measurement of classical light
Polarization of light is one of the fundamental concepts in optics. There are many ways to measure and characterise this feature of light but at the fundamental level it is quantum mechanics that…
Intrinsic Sensitivity Limits for Multiparameter Quantum Metrology.
TLDR
It is shown that, if the information is encoded in a unitary transformation, the authors can naturally choose the weight matrix as the metric tensor linked to the geometry of the underlying algebra su(n), with applications in numerous fields.
Quantum Polarimetry
Polarization is one of light’s most versatile degrees of freedom for both classical and quantum applications. The ability to measure light’s state of polarization and changes therein is thus…
Extreme depolarization for any spin
The opportunity to build quantum technologies operating with elementary quantum systems with more than two levels is now increasingly being examined, not least because of the availability of such…

Symmetric multiqudit states: Stars, entanglement, and rotosensors
A constellation of N = d − 1 Majorana stars represents an arbitrary pure quantum state of dimension d or a permutation-symmetric state of a system consisting of n qubits. We generalize the latter…

This review collects some of the key theoretical results in quantum parameter estimation by presenting the theory for the quantum estimation of a single parameter, multiple parameters, and optical estimation using Gaussian states.
Multiparameter Estimation in Networked Quantum Sensors.
TLDR
It is shown that entangling the sensors can enhance the estimation precision when the parameters of interest are global properties of the entire network, which applies to any situation in which spatially localized sensors are unitarily encoded with independent parameters.
Optimal quantum measurements for phase estimation.
TLDR
The 1/n limit achieved here is independent of the interferometer phase shift; prior information about the expected phase shift is not necessary to attain this limit.
