Note: This Required Problem Set explores the so-called “Standard Quantum” Limit in Interferometric Sensing. It is rather long and fiddly, with lots of opportunities to make mistakes – especially if one does not already know the answer. But if we break it up in parts and concentrate on (a)-(d), it is not too difficult and well worth the effort. I am hereby posting the Solution Set, for you to use as a “cheat sheet” as you work your way through it. The due date is May 5th, which should make it possible for everyone to work their way through it.
