Abstract
A conventional fermion interferometer, in which the fermions enter only one of the two input ports, can achieve a phase sensitivity , where is the total number of fermions which have passed through the interferometer. Here it is shown that by injection of fermions into both input ports the phase sensitivity can approach provided that the fermions in the two input beams are suitably correlated.
