Abstract We study the spin squeezing property of weighted graph states, which can be used to improve sensitivity in interferometry. We study the time evolution of spin squeezing under local decoherence acting independently on each qubit. Based on the analysis, the spin squeezing of the weighted graph states is somehow robust in the presence of decoherence and the decoherence limit in the improvement of the interferometric sensitivity is still achievable. Furthermore, one can obtain the optimal improvement of sensitivity by tuning the weighted of each edges of the weighted graph state.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
