Abstract
Squeezed states of light are a crucial resource for improving the precision of parameter estimation [1], and this has made an impact in areas as wide ranging as biological imaging [2] and gravitational wave detection [3]. However, the optimal bounds of the Fisher information (FI) in continuous variable (CV) quantum metrology have, so far, only been abstractly defined and do not account for many important experimental parameters, such as the quantum efficiency and bandwidth of the detector [4]. We show that classical FI calculations can be used to compute these optimal bounds with more applicability to experimental measurement. This is demonstrated in the case of single parameter estimation of a modulated optical loss, using a bright amplitude squeezed state as a probe.
