Abstract :

• We discuss the idea behind escaping Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle via the measurement of modular optical quadrature variables (or modular position and momentum variables).
• We review the use of this idea in quantum error correction, –to encode a qubit into a bosonic mode–, and potentially in sensing. Given the recent experimental demonstrations in a microwave cavity mode and the motion of a trapped-ion, we conclude by asking about interesting open research directions.
