IQIS2009: Italian Quantum Information Science Conference 2009

Entanglement, Non-linear Dynamics and Heisenberg Limit

speaker: Augusto Smerzi (CNR e dipartimento di Fisica, Trento)

abstract: We show that the quantum Fisher information provides a sufficient condition to recognize multi-particle entanglement in a $N$ qubit state. The same criterion gives a necessary and sufficient condition for sub shot-noise phase sensitivity in the estimation of a collective rotation angle $\theta$. The analysis therefore singles out the class of entangled states which are {\it useful} to overcome classical phase sensitivity in metrology and sensors. We apply our results to study the creation of useful entangled states by the non-linear dynamical evolution of two decoupled Bose-Einstein condensates or with ions trapped in periodic potentials. reference: Luca Pezzé and Augusto Smerzi, Phys.
