New Strategies for Phase Estimation in Quantum Optics

One important problem in quantum optics is to resolve an extremely small change of phase shift. The complementarity between photon number and phase sets an ultimate limit, the so-called Heisenberg limit, on the phase measurement sensitivity. The precise phase estimation has many technological applic...
