The objective of the DARPA Quantum Sensor Program is to develop practical sensors operating outside of a controlled laboratory environment that exploit non-classical photon states (e.g. entangled, squeezed, or cat) to surpass classical sensor resolution.

Single-Photon Quantum Non-Demolition
You want to know if there is a single photon in mode b, without destroying it.

A statistical distinguishability based on relative entropy characterizes the fitness of quantum states for phase estimation. This criterion is used to interpolate between two regimes, of local and global phase distinguishability.
The analysis demonstrates that, in a passive MZI, the Heisenberg limit is the true upper limit for local phase sensitivity — and Only N00N States Reach It!

This counter example disproves the N00N Conjecture: That N Modes Required for N00N.
The upper bound on the resources scales quadratically!
Upper bound theorem:
The maximal size of a N00N state generated in m modes via single photon detection in m–2 modes is O(m2).
