We show that injecting a light pulse prepared in the Shrödinger cat quantum state into the dark port of a two-arm interferometer, it is possible to detect a given phase shift unambiguously. The value of this phase shift is inversely proportional to the amplitudes of both the classical carrier light and the Shrödinger cat state. However, an unconventional detection procedure is required for this purpose. By measuring the number of photons at the output dark port, it is possible to detect the phase shift with a vanishing ‘false positive’ probability. The ‘false negative’ probability in this case decreases as the amplitude of the Schrödinger cat state increases and, for reasonable values of this amplitude, can be made less than about 0.1.

In this paper, a study of the influence of laser processing parameters with pulsed nanosecond laser radiation on the degree of metallization and the quality of the metallized surface of aluminum nitride ceramics is presented. Experiments were carried out to create conductive structures with the lowest resistance using direct laser metallization. The dependences of resistance on duration, pulse overlap, and laser fluence were obtained and analyzed, and changes in surface roughness were considered. In addition, the composition of the surface of laser-metallized ceramics was studied using energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. As a result, it was shown that the resistance is inversely proportional to the square root of the pulse duration, the thermal diffusion length was estimated as lT
