Here, we calculate analytical expressions for the QFI of nonlinear interferometers under lossy conditions and with coherent-state seeding. We normalize the results based on the number of photons going through the sample that induces a phase shift on the incident quantum state, which eliminates some of the previously declared metrological advantages. We analyze the performance of nonlinear interferometers in a variety of geometries and robustness of the quantum advantage with respect to internal and external loss through direct comparison with a linear interferometer. We find the threshold on the internal loss at which the quantum advantage vanishes, specify when and how much coherent-state seeding optimally counters internal loss, and show that a sufficient amount of squeezing confers to the quantum advantages robustness against external loss and inefficient detection.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.14172v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.14172v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"metrological-advantages-in-seeded-and-lossy","repo_url":"https://github.com/jkranias/qfi-of-gaussian-interferometers","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
