We show that the construction of the linear interferometer in the Supplemental Material of arXiv:1909.09581 is flawed, leading to a generally suboptimal solution. We then provide the correct derivation of the optimal interferometric…

We consider estimating the magnitude of a monochromatic AC signal that couples to a two-level sensor. For any detection protocol, the precision achieved depends on the signal's frequency and can be quantified by the quantum Fisher…

The quantum Fisher information (QFI) in SU(2) and SU(1,1) interferometers was considered, and the QFI-only calculation was overestimated. In general, the phase estimation as a two-parameter estimation problem, and the quantum Fisher…
