Understanding and Quantifying Resources for Quantum Metrology in Contextuality and Complex Quasi-Probability Distributions
FY 2024-25
Summary
Quantum sensing and quantum metrology are the study of making high-resolution and highly sensitive measurements of physical parameters using quantum theory to describe the physical systems, particularly exploiting quantum superposition or entanglement. This field promises to develop sensing techniques that give better precision than the same measurement performed in a classical framework. Two central questions arise: the role of negative quasi-probability values, and in some cases, contextuality, as a resource for quantum metrology advantage; and how these quantum advantages can endure in the presence of noise and loss.
Our research aligns with this framework, fostering collaboration between the University of Ottawa and Lille Université (France). Three researchers and their respective teams in distinct yet complementary domains contribute to this emerging partnership, which will particular benefit the training of a PhD student in the Lundeen Lab. This collaborative effort has already sparked innovative ideas, and we are committed to furthering these exchanges.
