报告摘要:
Interferometry has been widely used in sensing application for precision measurement of a variety of physical quantities. However, the hardware structure and the measurement technique have not changed ever since its invention about one hundred years ago, even though quantum states are employed to reduce the intrinsic quantum noise in the interferometers. This has limited the applicable range of the traditional interferometric technique. For example, the interference paths must be balanced to within the coherence time of the light sources. In this presentation, we will introduce some new quantum approaches to interferometry. Among them is the approach by hardware changes. We will review a number of quantum advantages over traditional methods. Another one is the adoption of quantum measurement technique. This can break the limitation of finite coherence time in traditional interferometry and broaden the applicable range of interferometric techniques.The latter approach has potential applications in long-baseline high resolution astronomy and LIDAR technique. In addition to practical applications, when the method is applied to single-photon state as input, this unconventional phenomenon has fundamental implication on the complementarity principle of quantum interference.
