the theorem that a phase-insensitive linear amplifier must add at least half a quantum of noise, referred to the input.

In metrology, quantum limit of linear amplifiers refers to the theorem that a phase-insensitive linear amplifier must add at least half a quantum of noise, referred to the input. This meaning comes from Caves (1982) in Physical Review D.[1]
