We propose an alternative scheme for phase estimation in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with photon recycling, which achieves a higher phase sensitivity compared to the traditional MZI. Our scheme can achieve an enhancement factor of about 9.32 in phase sensitivity even with a 10% photon loss on the photon-recycled arm. Additionally, our scheme is able to achieve a lower quantum Cramer-Rao bound (QCRB) than the traditional scheme.
We propose an alternative scheme for phase estimation in a Mach-Zehnder interfer-ometer (MZI) with photon recycling. It is demonstrated that with the same coherent-state input and homodyne detection, our proposal possesses a phase sensitivity beyond the traditional MZI. For instance, it can achieve an enhancement factor of similar to 9.32 in the phase sensitivity compared with the conventional scheme even with a photon loss of 10% on the photon-recycled arm. From another point of view, the quantum Cramer-Rao bound (QCRB) is also investigated. It is found that our scheme is able to achieve a lower QCRB than the traditional one. Intriguingly, the QCRB of our scheme is dependent of the phase shift 0 while the traditional scheme has a constant QCRB regardless of the phase shift. Finally, we present the underlying mechanisms behind the enhanced phase sensitivity. We believe that our results provide another angle from which to enhance the phase sensitivity in a MZI via photon recycling.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement
