20. This is not a general result for Heisenberg-limited phase measurements: Ref. 10 presents a general optimal measurement scheme where the precision is HL for all values of (Formula presented).
21. This remark has also been made in Ref. 12, where the Heisenberg limit for frequency resolution in the spectroscopy of (Formula presented) trapped ions is investigated. The state to be used inside the interferometer (i.e., after the first beam splitter) is (Formula presented), with (Formula presented) and where J is the coupling of (Formula presented) Bloch vectors. The equivalent state in our work is more complicated and displayed in Fig. 44.
