Abstract

Nonreciprocal devices play a significant role in noise isolation and signal routing. Here, by using the Kerr effect to induce the magnon frequency shift, we can obtain asymmetric estimation precisions for the photon–magnon coupling strength under two different magnetic field directions, where the estimation precision is quantified by quantum Fisher information. We refer to this phenomenon as nonreciprocal quantum metrology. By defining bidirectional contrast ratio, we find that there exists a critical Kerr coefficient and cavity decay rate that provide the strongest nonreciprocity. Particularly, we also reveal that the nonreciprocity of estimation precision has strong robustness to thermal noise. Our work enriches the physical connotation of quantum metrology and lays the foundation for further exploration of nonreciprocal precision measurement physics.
