The Heisenberg limit of quantum measurement where the measurement precision scales as N-1 with the number of atoms N can be achieved by introducing quantum correlations between the atoms. In the present work, we show how to reach Heisenberg scaling by implementing a new Ramsey measurement scheme for cold-atom metrological devices. The proposed protocol consists of a sequence of one-axis twisting pulses and total collective spin rotations. It results in the creation of atomic Schrödinger-cat states, a superposition of two coherent spin states. Analyzing the Fisher information, we discuss the main features of the states and their interferometric precision.
