Terminology
Abstract
We present an enhanced entangled-quantum-clock protocol that incorporates a quantum phase estimation algorithm to directly estimate proper-time differences as an unknown phase. By employing highly entangled multi-clock states, the achievable uncertainty scales inversely with the total number of quantum clocks, achieving the Heisenberg limit O(1/N) while remaining completely immune to dynamical phase noise. Furthermore, we discuss the feasibility of utilizing this ultra-high precision protocol for gravitational wave detection, highlighting its potential for quantum-enhanced relativistic sensing and fundamental physics tests.
