Discontinuities of the quantum Fisher information and the Bures metric

D Šafránek - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We show that two quantities in quantum metrology that were thought to be the same, the
quantum Fisher information matrix and the Bures metric, are not the same. They differ at …

Spacetime effects on wavepackets of coherent light

DE Bruschi, S Chatzinotas, FK Wilhelm, AW Schell - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We investigate the interplay between gravity and the quantum coherence present in the
state of a pulse of light propagating in curved spacetime. We first introduce an operational …

Does relativistic motion always degrade quantum Fisher information?

X Liu, J Jing, Z Tian, W Yao - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We investigate the ultimate estimation precision, characterized by the quantum Fisher
information, of a two-level atom as a detector which is coupled to massless scalar field in the …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum communications and quantum metrology in the spacetime of a rotating planet

J Kohlrus, DE Bruschi, J Louko, I Fuentes - EPJ Quantum Technology, 2017 - Springer
We study how quantum systems that propagate in the spacetime of a rotating planet are
affected by the curved background. Spacetime curvature affects wavepackets of photons …

Quantum-metrology estimation of spacetime parameters of the Earth outperforming classical precision

J Kohlrus, DE Bruschi, I Fuentes - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We consider quantum communication schemes where quantum optical signals are
exchanged between a source on Earth and a satellite. The background curved spacetime …

Satellite‐Based Quantum Steering under the Influence of Spacetime Curvature of the Earth

T Liu, J Jing, J Wang - Advanced Quantum Technologies, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Spacetime curvature of the Earth deforms wave packets of photons sent from the Earth to
satellites, thus influencing the quantum state of light. We show that Gaussian steering of …

Estimation of temperature in micromaser-type systems

B Farajollahi, M Jafarzadeh, H Rangani Jahromi… - Quantum Information …, 2018 - Springer
We address the estimation of the number of photons and temperature in a micromaser-type
system with Fock state and thermal fields. We analyze the behavior of the quantum Fisher …

The influence of the Earth's curved spacetime on Gaussian quantum coherence

T Liu, S Cao, S Wu, H Zeng - Laser Physics Letters, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Light wave-packets propagating from the Earth to satellites will be deformed by the curved
background spacetime of the Earth, thus influencing the quantum state of light. We show that …
