The sensitivity in optical interferometry is strongly affected by losses during the signal propagation or at the detection stage. The optimal quantum states of the probing signals in the presence of loss were recently found. However, in…

We optimize two-mode, entangled, number states of light in the presence of loss in order to maximize the extraction of the available phase information in an interferometer. Our approach optimizes over the entire available input Hilbert…

Atomic parity violation (APV) provides a low-energy probe of the weak interaction between electrons and nuclei, complementary to collider tests of the Standard Model. Isotope-chain measurements are especially attractive because they test…
