Quantum entanglement offers considerable advantages in how the sensitivity of interferometric precision scales with the resources available. However, when using entangled states it is important that a balance is found between the phase sensitivity of the state and its robustness to particle loss. Recent work (Dorner et al 2009 Phys. Rev. Lett. 102 040403) has optimized this balance and found the ideal initial state for any given loss rate in a two-path interferometer. Here we describe a route towards achieving precisions close to that of the theoretical optimum by using beam splitters with variable reflectivity. We also discuss how adopting a multipath approach may prove to be important in future metrology schemes that aim to surpass the standard quantum limit.
