Abstract:

Quantum parameter estimation is a powerful theoretical tool for inferring unknown parameters in physical models from experimental data. The Jaynes-Cummings model is widely used in quantum optics, and describes the interaction between a two-level atom and a single-mode quantum optical field. Systematic research was performed on the estimation precision of atom-light coupling strength “g” in this model and the initial state was identified by which the estimation can achieve the best precision. Our results can improve the precision of quantum measurement with the Jaynes-Cummings model, and can be used for quantum metrology with other hybrid quantum systems.

Key words: quantum Fisher information, Jaynes–Cummings model, parameter estimation theory
