Distributed phase sensing using two-mode squeezed states in a truncated SU(1,1) interferometer

Abstract

We demonstrate distributed phase sensing with a truncated SU(1,1) interferometer through the measurement of a linear combination of two phases distributed between the two beams of a two-mode squeezed state. We theoretically analyze the sensitivity enhancement with respect to the corresponding classical strategy and experimentally demonstrate a 2 dB quantum noise reduction in the measurement of a linear combination of two phases.
