Quantum Sensing Enhanced by Squeezing and Non-Hermitian Physics

Abstract

We find extraordinary enhancement of sensitivity by integrating non-Hermitian and squeezing effects in a general framework for quantum sensing. When a bosonic-mode sensor operates at the parametric oscillation (PO) threshold and an exceptional point (EP), the sensing precision exhibits a quartic scaling with the perturbation strength, leading to ultrahigh sensitivity. The result generalizes to multimode squeezed-state sensors with higher-order EPs, with potential applicability across a wide range of quantum sensing platforms.
