Improving phase sensitivity of a hybridinterferometer with the two-mode squeezedcoherent state

We investigate the enhancement of phase sensitivity of a nonlinear- linear hybrid interferometer with the input of the two-mode squeezed coherent state (TMSCS). With the TMSCS produced by four-wave mixing, the quantum Cram er- Rao bounds (QCRB) can beat the Heisenberg limit (HL). Under the phase matched conditions, the optimal phase sensitivity with the balanced homodyne detection measurement can beat the HL and approach QCRB. The e ects of internal and external losses on the measurement accuracy are also discussed. The results demonstrate that the scheme is robustness against to internal losses and this protocol can resist external detection loss which is up to 39%. Our results improve the performance of hybrid interferometers and this scheme can nd important practical applications in quantum metrology.
