Quantum Fisher information as an important quantity in quantum metrology determines the upper bound of the measurement accuracy. It is shown that the quantum feature such as entanglement can improve quantum Fisher information in some cases. Here we study how quantum coherence affects the quantum Fisher information from a general point of view. We f...

High-sensitivity interferometers are one of the basic tools for precision measurement, and their sensitivity is limited by their shot noise limit (SNL), which is determined by vacuum fluctuations of the probe field. The quantum interferometer with novel structures can break the SNL and measure the weak signals, such as the direct observation of gra...

Quantum voltage standards based on ac Josephson effect have been used in metrology since a few years after the discovery of the physical phenomenon. The role of quantum standards is now crucial following the SI redefinition in 2019: electrical units are today defined in terms of the fundamental constants e (elementary charge) and h (Planck’s consta...

Position measurement is central to cavity quantum optomechanics and underpins a wide array of sensing technologies and tests of fundamental physics. Excitingly, several optomechanics experiments are now entering the highly sought nonlinear regime where optomechanical interactions are large even for low light levels. Within this regime, new quantum...

We present a closed-form analytical description for the metrological performance of a generic superposition of spin coherent states (SSCS) used as probes for quantum phase estimation. Working in this framework, we derive transparent analytical expressions for the pertinent quantum Fisher information and identify a general class of spin coherent sta...
