Robust quantum sensing with strongly interacting probe systems
arXiv:1709.09387 · doi:10.1038/s41534-018-0073-3
Abstract
In the field of quantum metrology and sensing, a collection of quantum systems (e.g. spins) are used as a probe to estimate some physical parameter (e.g. magnetic field). It is usually assumed that there are no interactions between the probe systems. We show that strong interactions between them can increase robustness against thermal noise, leading to enhanced sensitivity. In principle, the sensitivity can scale exponentially in the number of probes -- even at non-zero temperatures -- if there are long-range interactions. This scheme can also be combined with other techniques, such as dynamical decoupling, to give enhanced sensitivity in realistic experiments.
