• Abstract: Precise measurements in optical and atomic systems often rely on differential interferometry. This method allows to handle large and correlated phase noise contributions -- such as environmental vibrations, thermal fluctuations, or instrumental drifts -- preventing them from blurring the signal. To date, this approach has primarily focused on extracting the differential phase shift. However, valuable information about the system is also contained in the width of uncorrelated phase fluctuations. In this work, we present a maximum likelihood approach for the simultaneous estimation of both the differential phase shift and the width of uncorrelated phase noise. Unlike conventional methods, our technique explicitly accounts for the data spreading and outperforms traditional ellipse fitting in terms of both precision and accuracy. We demonstrate our methodology using a quantum mechanical model of coupled interferometers, where uncorrelated dephasing arises from projection noise and interparticle interactions. Our results establish a novel approach to data analysis in differential interferometry that is readily applicable to current experiments.

  Atom interferometers are reaching sensitivities fundamentally constrained by quantum fluctuations. Here, we theoretically investigate differential phase measurements with two atom interferometers using spin-squeezed states. We identify optimal squeezed states that minimize the differential phase variance, scaling as $N-2/3$, while eliminating bias inherent in ellipse fitting methods.

  The interplay between information-scrambling Hamiltonians and local continuous measurements hosts platforms for exotic measurement-induced phase transition. We identify a non-monotonic dependence on the local noise strength in both the averaged entanglement and operator correlations. The analysis of scaling with the system size in a finite length chain indicates that, at finite efficiency, this effect leads to distinct MiPTs for operator correlations and entanglement.

• Phase sensitivity of spatially broadband high-gain SU(1,1) interferometers [0.0]
  We present a theoretical description of spatially multimode SU (1,1) interferometers operating at low and high parametric gains. Our approach is based on a step-by-step solution of a system of integro-differential equations for each nonlinear interaction region. We investigate plane-wave and Gaussian pumping and show that for any parametric gain, there exists a region of phases for which the phase sensitivity surpasses the standard shot-noise scaling.

  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.

  Photon exchange-phase and degree of distinguishability have not been widely utilized in quantum-enhanced applications. We show that even at low degree entanglement, when a two-photon wave-function is coupled to matter, it is encoded with a reliable "which pathway?" information. We find that quantum-light interferometry facilitates utterly different set of time-delay variables, which are unbound by uncertainty to the inverse bandwidth of the wave-packet.
