Goldbach Representations in Quantum Optics and Metrology
Akira Sone, Maxim Olshanii
Source abstract
We derive a relation between Goldbach representations and photon-number statistics in a quantum-optical setup. Considering an even-number Fock state injected into a stochastic beam splitter with uniformly distributed transmissivity and projections of the two output modes onto prime subspaces, we demonstrate that each successful outcome corresponds to an Goldbach representation and that the averaged detection probability is exactly proportional to the number of Goldbach representations. Then, employing the Hardy--Littlewood asymptotic formula, we demonstrate that the post-measurement state generated by a beam splitter with fixed transmissivity exhibits standard quantum limit scaling of the ultimate precision limit in terms of phase estimation, whereas an equally weighted superposition of Goldbach representations exhibits Heisenberg scaling. These results provide a quantum-optical realization of Goldbach representations and relate their statistics of with quantum metrology.
