Ancilla-assisted probing of temporal quantum correlations of large spins
arXiv:2006.07028 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.102.022212
Abstract
When measuring quantum spins at two or more different times, the later measurements are affected by measurement backaction occurring due to the earlier measurements. This makes the measurement of temporal quantum correlation functions challenging. In this paper, I propose a measurement protocol that mitigates the effect of measurement backaction by exploiting spin selection rules. I show that, under suitable conditions, the effect of measurement backaction on two-time quantum correlations becomes negligible when probing a system consisting of spins with large spin quantum numbers by coupling it to a spin- ancilla degree of freedom. A potential application of such a measurement protocol is the probing of an array of Bose-Einstein condensates by light.
