Research Abstract |
Using the NOON state and a photon-number-resolving detector, the accuracy of phase measurement with a Mach–Zehnder interferometer reached the Heisenberg limit. In an experimental demonstration using the continuous-wave NOON state, the coherence time was much longer than the response time of a photon-number-resolving detector. Therefore, we investigated the time correlation of photon detection events in the light field from the Mach–Zehnder interferometer. As a result, it was found that the photon detection events were anti-bunching. This result suggests that we need a photon-number-resolving detector with a fast response time and a NOON state with a much longer coherence time in order to use a large-photon-number NOON state.
