Popis: We study the phase super–sensitivity of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with the squeezed Kerr state (SKS) and coherent state as the inputs. We discuss the lower bound in phase sensitivity by considering the quantum Fisher information and the corresponding quantum Cramér–Rao bound. With the help of single intensity detection, intensity difference detection, and homodyne detection schemes, we find that our scheme gives a better sensitivity under both lossless and lossy conditions as compared to the well–known results of the combinations of inputs, such as coherent plus vacuum, coherent plus squeezed vacuum, and double coherent states. Because of the possibility of the generation of SKS with the present available quantum optical techniques, we expect that SKS may be an alternative nonclassical resource for the improvement in the phase super–sensitivity of the MZI in realistic scenarios.
