ITAMP Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern and colleagues publish quantum-metrology paper in Nature Communications
Monday, August 17, 2020
Researchers including ITAMP Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern recently proved that quantum physics can enhance metrology, if a simple extra measurement is performed during an experiment. The proof technique hinges on mathematical objects that resemble probabilities but that can assume negative values when describing quantum systems. The result was published in Nature Communications and featured in a news article by the University of Cambridge:
