Super-resolving phase measurements with a multi-photon entangled state

arXiv:quant-ph/0312186 · doi:10.1038/nature02493

Abstract

Using a linear optical elements and post-selection, we construct an entangled polarization state of three photons in the same spatial mode. This state is analogous to a ``photon-number path entangled state'' and can be used for super-resolving interferometry. Measuring a birefringent phase shift, we demonstrate two- and three-fold improvements in phase resolution.
