abstract

The topic of quantum noise has become extremely timely due to the rise of quantum information physics and the resulting interchange of ideas between the condensed matter and AMO/quantum optics communities. This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of quantum noise and its connections to quantum measurement and quantum amplification. After introducing quantum noise spectra and methods for their detection, we describe the basics of weak continuous measurements. Particular attention is given to treating the standard quantum limit on linear amplifiers and position detectors using a general linear-response framework. We show how this approach relates to the standard Haus-Caves quantum limit for a bosonic amplifier known in quantum optics, and illustrate its application for the case of electrical circuits, including mesoscopic detectors and resonant cavity detectors.

Minimal noise in non-quantized gravity

quant-ph · 2026-03-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Non-quantized gravity models that preserve Galilean invariance and reproduce Newtonian interaction on average require a minimal noise injection to remain non-entangling.

Geometric noise spectrum in interferometers

hep-th · 2026-01-25 · conditional · novelty 6.0

The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.

Searching for axions with quantum interferometry

hep-ph · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Axion-photon coupling imprints measurable Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases in superconducting circuits and interferometers, projecting sensitivity to g_aγγ ~ 7.8e-14 GeV^{-1} at m_a ~ 1e-10 eV.
