Benchmarking quantum advantage
Claims of advantage require a fair reference under matched resources.
$$\mathcal A=\frac{\mathrm{MSE}_{\mathrm{classical}}}{\mathrm{MSE}_{\mathrm{quantum}}}$$
Physical intuition
Claims of advantage require a fair reference under matched resources.
Deep dive: physical mechanism
Fix sample exposure, total time, photon budget, detector efficiency and estimator assumptions before comparing schemes.
What is measured experimentally?
Report mean-squared error and uncertainty over repeated trials.
Assumptions, noise and limitations
A selected ideal benchmark can exaggerate practical benefit.
Research and simulation exercise
Compare squeezed and coherent optical probes with identical detected photon budgets.
