We investigate the phase sensitivity of a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) with an input of a non-Gaussian quantum entangled state, Two-Mode Photon-Subtracted Squeezed Vacuum states (TMPSSV). Parity detection is carried out at the output of the interferometer to obtain the phase uncertainty, which is a physical parameter that can quantify the sensitivity of interferometry. According to the simulation results, TMPSSV has a smaller phase uncertainty than the Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum state (TMSV) in the entire range of the squeezing parameter which means the sensitivity of interferometry based on TMPSSV is higher than that of TMSV. Therefore, non-Gaussian entanglement based on TMPSSV provides a promising quantum resource for an ultra-sensitivity optical interferometer far beyond the standard quantum limit.
