Hi everyone,
Tomorrow Gian will be giving us group meeting. Please see below for the
title and abstract of his talk.

"Quantum interferometry and losses: Can frequency modulation help?"
No definitive answer will be given in this talk, but I will provide an
introduction to some recent work done together with Felipe Herrera.
I will summarize a few important results in the field of quantum
interferometry (What is it meant with "interferometry"? Does quantum
mechanics help? What about photon losses?) and show that the chiral
characterization of a sample can be rephrased as an interferometric task.
I will present the effect of frequency modulation on a light probe and show
that it can improve the robustness to losses for a "classical" protocol
involving a one-mode homodyne detection scheme.
Preliminary results for the "quantum" version of the protocol do not
indicate a significant quantum improvement, but more concrete conclusions
require a few additional steps that I will briefly outline.
