- Abstract: Precise measurement of the angular deviation of an object is a common task in
science and technology. Many methods use light for this purpose. Some of these
exploit interference effects to achieve technological advantages, such as
amplification effects, or simplified measurement devices. However, all of these
schemes require phase stability to be useful. Here we show theoretically and
experimentally that this drawback can be lifted by utilizing two-photon
interference, which is known to be less sensitive to phase fluctuations. Our
results show that non-classical interference can provide a path towards robust
interferometric sensing, allowing for increased metrological precision in the
presence of phase noise.

For two cases of interest, a spatial qudit encoding phase, consisting of d = 6 uniform phase regions, and a more general continuous phase, we see that reducing the readout noise leads to a clear improvement in the quality of reconstruction.

We develop and investigate an integrated multimode two-colour SU (1,1) interferometer that operates in a supersensitive mode.
By ensuring a proper design of the integrated platform, we suppress dispersion and thereby significantly increase the visibility of the interference pattern.
We demonstrate that such an interferometer overcomes the classical phase sensitivity limit for wide parametric gain ranges, when up to $3*104$ photons are generated.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.
