the ultimate quantum limit on phase estimation precision, scaling inversely with the number of probe particles rather than its square root.

In metrology, Heisenberg limit refers to the ultimate quantum limit on phase estimation precision, scaling inversely with the number of probe particles rather than its square root. This meaning comes from Holland (1993) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
