New quantum measurement toolkit could enable more precise sensors and instruments
Researchers have released open-source code that improves how scientists measure quantum systems using light, potentially accelerating development of next-generation sensors and diagnostic tools. The work addresses a fundamental challenge in quantum technology: extracting useful information from quantum measurements more efficiently than current methods allow.

This repository contains the Mathematica notebooks used to generate the main numerical results and figures presented in A. Vivas-Viaña and C. Sánchez Muñoz (2026), Quantum Metrology through Spectral Measurements in Quantum Optics (PRX Quantum 7, 010346) The provided code reproduces the calculations and plots associated with the main figures indicated in each notebook. Additional figures and auxiliary calculations that are not directly required for the main conclusions of the paper are not included (but are available upon request); however, they can be readily obtained using the provided code.
