• Abstract: Quantum-enhanced metrology surpasses classical metrology by improving estimation precision scaling with a resource $N$ (e.g., particle number or energy) from $1/\sqrt{N}$ to $1/N$. Through the use of nonlinear effects, Roy and Braunstein~\cite{Roy2008} derived a $1/2^N$ scaling. However, later works argued this exponential improvement is unphysical and that even modest gains, like $1/N^2$, may vanish under noise. We show that, in the presence of small errors, the nonlinear interactions enabling metrological enhancement induce emergent errors. The errors propagate through the sensing protocol and are magnified proportional to any intended non-linear enhancement. We identify a critical value of the parameter to be estimated, for a fixed error, below which the emergent errors can be avoided.

  We study the effects of error sources that may limit the sensitivity of atom interferometry devices. Errors include errors in the preparation of the initial entangled state, imperfections in the laser pulses, momentum spread of the initial atomic wave packet, measurement errors, spontaneous emission, and atom loss. Based on the performed analysis, entanglement-enhanced atom interferometry appears to be feasible with existing experimental capabilities.

  We show that the Analytic Signal phase, and its gradient have a hitherto unstudied discontinuity in $2-D $ and higher dimensions. This shortcoming can result in severe artifacts whereas the problem does not exist in $1-D $ signals. We suggest the use of Linear Symmetry phase, relying on more than one set of Gabor filters, but with a negligible computational add-on.
