Abstract

We have recently shown that interferometers with nonlinear cross-Kerr coupling allow us to coherently filter incident thermal noise, transforming it into an information resource. State-of-the-art technology enables Kerr-nonlinear interferometers to achieve supersensitive resolution in noise sensors or microscopes using thermal noise sources of few photons.
