We theoretically study a scheme to develop an atomic based MW interferometry using the Rydberg states in Rb. Unlike the traditional MW interferometry, this scheme is not based upon the electrical circuits, hence the sensitivity of the phase…

We study dephasing in an electronic Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer based on quantum Hall (QH) edge states by a micromiter-sized Ohmic contact embedded in one of its arms. We find that at the filling factor $\nu=1$, as well as in the case…

We present a single-image numerical phase retrieval method for Zernike phase-contrast microscopy (ZPM) that addresses halo and shade-off artifacts, as well as the weak phase condition, without requiring hardware modifications. By employing…

For a generic interferometer, the conditional probability density distribution, $p(\phi|m)$, for the phase $\phi$ given measurement outcome $m$, will generally have multiple peaks. Therefore, the phase sensitivity of an interferometer…

We demonstrate accurate phase measurement from low photon level interference data using a constrained optimization method that takes into account the expected redundancy in the unknown phase function. This approach is shown to have…

In the last five decades, iterative phase retrieval methods draw large amount of interest across the research community as a non-interferometric approach to recover quantitative phase distributions from one (or more) intensity measurement.…

Zernike's phase contrast microscopy (PCM) is among the most widely used techniques for observing phase objects, but it lacks quantitative nature, as it cannot directly provide phase information. Current methods for computationally…

The Cram\'er-Rao bound captures completely the performance of single-parameter quantum sensors. On the other hand, its extension to multiple parameters demands more caution. Different aspects need to be captured at once, including,…

The ultimate precision of phase estimation is limited by the Heisenberg scaling $\Delta\phi_0 = K/N$, where $K\sim1$ is a numerical prefactor and $N$ is the mean number of photons interacting with the phase shifting object(s). However,…
