Many-body quantum lock-in amplifier

Abstract
Achieving high-precision detection of time-dependent signals in noisy environment is a ubiquitous issue in physics and a critical task in metrology. Lock-in amplifiers are detectors that can extract alternating signals with a known carrier frequency from an extremely noisy environment. Here, we present a protocol for achieving an entanglement-enhanced lock-in amplifier via empoying many-body quantum interferometry and periodic multiple pulses. Generally, quantum interferometry includes three stages: initialization, interrogation, and readout. The many-body quantum lock-in amplifier can be achieved via adding suitable periodic multiple--pulse sequence during the interrogation. Our analytical results show that, by selecting suitable input states and readout operations, the frequency and amplitude of an unknown alternating field can be simultaneously extracted via population measurements. In particular, if we input spin cat states and apply interaction-based readout operations, the measurement precisions for frequency and amplitude can both approach the Heisenberg limit. Moreover, our many-body quantum amplifier is robust against extreme stochastic noises. Our study may point out a new direction for measuring time-dependent signals with many-body quantum systems, and provides a feasible way for achieving Heisenberg-limited detection of alternating signals.
