The Controlled-NOT can be implemented using a Kerr medium:

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

Optimization of Quantum Interferometric Metrological Sensors In thePresence of Photon Loss

PHYSICAL REVIEW A, 80 (6): Art. No. 063803 DEC 2009

Tae-Woo Lee, Sean D. Huver, Hwang Lee, Lev Kaplan, Steven B. McCracken,Changjun Min, Dmitry B. Uskov, Christoph F. Wildfeuer, Georgios Veronis,

We optimize two-mode, entangled, number states of light in the presence ofloss in order to maximize the extraction of the available phase information in aninterferometer. Our approach optimizes over the entire available input Hilbertspace with no constraints, other than fixed total initial photon number.

Lossy State ComparisonPHYSICAL REVIEW A, 80 (6): Art. No. 063803 DEC 2009

Here we take the optimal state, outputted by the code, ateach loss level and project it on to one of three knowstates, NOON, M&M, and “Spin” Coherent.

The conclusion from thisplot is that the optimalstates found by thecomputer code are N00Nstates for very low loss,M&M states forintermediate loss, and“spin” coherent states forhigh loss.

Super-Resolution at the Shot-Noise Limit with Coherent Statesand Photon-Number-Resolving Detectors

Y. Gao, C.F. Wildfeuer, P.M. Anisimov, H. Lee, J.P. Dowling

We show that coherent light coupled with photon numberresolving detectors — implementing parity detection —produces super-resolution much below the Rayleighdiffraction limit, with sensitivity at the shot-noise limit.

PRL 104, 103602 (2010)PM Anisimov, GM Raterman, A Chiruvelli, WN Plick, SD Huver, H Lee, JP Dowling

We show that super-resolution and sub-Heisenberg sensitivity isobtained with parity detection. In particular, in our setup, dependenceof the signal on the phase evolves <n> times faster than in traditionalschemes, and uncertainty in the phase estimation is better than 1/<n>.
