Abstract

Mach-Zehnder atom interferometry requires hold-time phase squeezing to attain readout accuracy below the standard quantum limit. This increases its sensitivity to phase diffusion, restoring shot-noise scaling of the optimal signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of interactions. The contradiction between the preparations required for readout accuracy and robustness to interactions is removed by monitoring Rabi-Josephson oscillations instead of relative-phase oscillations during signal acquisition. Optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio with a Gaussian squeezed input, we find that hold-time number squeezing satisfies both demands and that sub-shot-noise scaling is retained even for strong interactions.
