Optimal phase measurements in a lossy Mach–Zehnder interferometer with coherent input light

This work discusses the single-intensity and difference-intensity detection schemes for lossy Mach–Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) and gives the corresponding optimal conditions to achieve the best phase measurements. The interferometer is fed by a coherent state in one port and a vacuum state in the o...
