Ramsey interferometry allows the estimation of the phase $\phi$ of rotation of the pseudospin vector of an ensemble of two-state quantum systems. For $\phi$ small, the noise-to-signal ratio scales as the spin-squeezing parameter $\xi$, with…
As an "input" state of a linear (Mach-Zehnder or Ramsey) interferometer, the phase-squeezed state proposed by Berry and Wiseman exhibits the best sensitivity approaching to the Heisenberg limit [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 5098 (2000)]. In this…
