18. In order that the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection of Õ not be degraded, the measurement error of the number of particles in the spin-down (or spin-up) state must be ≪1 atom. This is satisfied with small numbers of trapped ions.

22. Heisenberg limited sensitivity has also been discussed in a different approach which uses coherent input states and a nonstandard beam splitter.
