Bias in error-corrected quantum sensing
arXiv:2101.05817 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.140503
Abstract
The sensitivity afforded by quantum sensors is limited by decoherence. Quantum error correction (QEC) can enhance sensitivity by suppressing decoherence, but it has a side-effect: it biases a sensor's output in realistic settings. If unaccounted for, this bias can systematically reduce a sensor's performance in experiment, and also give misleading values for the minimum detectable signal in theory. We analyze this effect in the experimentally-motivated setting of continuous-time QEC, showing both how one can remedy it, and how incorrect results can arise when one does not.
