Coherent Superposition States as Quantum Rulers
arXiv:quant-ph/0109106 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.65.042313
Abstract
We explore the sensitivity of an interferometer based on a quantum circuit for coherent states. We show that its sensitivity is at the Heisenberg limit. Moreover we show that this arrangement can measure very small length intervals.
