As the simplest phase estimation protocol, the inversion estimator has been widely adopted in the quantum metrology, since its performance can be simply quantified by the error-propagation formula. For a general binary-outcome measurement, we show that both the inversion estimator and the maximum likelihood estimator are the same and can asymptotically saturate the Cramér-Rao lower bound. These observations are applied to the parity detection and the zero-nonzero photon counting that have achieved super-resolved phase measurement near the shot-noise phase sensitivity in a coherent-state light Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We numerically show that the phase uncertainty almost follows the theoretical prediction of the lower bound. At the optimal working point, the best sensitivities also reach their associated analytic results for the two binary-outcome measurement schemes. |
