(color online) Diagram of the exact minimum precision and approximate analytical precision Nδη2 changing with the detection efficiency η. The exact minimum precision comes from numerical calculation. The approximate analytical precision comes from Eq. (27); it shows that the approximate analytical precision is close to the exact precision.
