CNOT with Optical Nonlinearity
The Controlled-NOT can be implemented using a Kerr medium:
|0= |H Polarization
|1= |V Qubits
(3)
PBS
R is a /2 polarization rotation,
followed by a polarization dependent
phase shift .

Unfortunately, the interaction (3) is extremely weak*:
10-22 at the single photon level — This is not practical!

Canonical Metrology
Suppose we have an ensemble of N states | = (|0 + ei |1)/2,
and we measure the following observable: A = |0 1| + |1 0|


The expectation value is given by: |A| = N cos 
and the variance (A)2 is given by: N(1cos2)

The unknown phase can be estimated with accuracy:

This is the standard shot-noise limit.

Local and Global Distinguishability
in Quantum Interferometry
GA Durkin & JPD, quant-ph/0607088
A statistical distinguishability based on relative entropy characterizes the
fitness of quantum states for phase estimation. This criterion is used to
interpolate between two regimes, of local and global phase
distinguishability.
The analysis demonstrates that, in a passive MZI, the Heisenberg limit
is the true upper limit for local phase sensitivity — and Only N00N
States Reach It!

The upper bound on the resources scales quadratically!
Upper bound theorem:
The maximal size of a N00N
state generated in m modes via
single photon detection in m–2
modes is O(m2).
