Poisson statistics predicts that the shot noise in a tunnel junction has a temperature independent third cumulant e^2\I, determined solely by the mean current I. Experimental data, however, show a puzzling temperature dependence. We…

Atomic projection noise limits the ultimate precision of all atomic sensors, including clocks, inertial sensors, magnetometers, etc. The independent quantum collapse of $N$ atoms into a definite state (for example spin up or down) leads to…

It is generally assumed that environmental noise arising from thermal fluctuations is detrimental to preserving coherence and entanglement in a quantum system. In the simplest sense, dephasing and decoherence are tied to energy fluctuations…
The quantum limit is a fundamental lower bound on the uncertainty when estimating a parameter in a system dominated by the minimum amount of noise (quantum noise). For the first time, we derive and demonstrate a quantum limit for…
