Suppression of spin bath and low-frequency noise for sub-MHz AC magnetometry based on double-dressed spin qubit in diamond

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a protocol that effectively suppresses the qubit-bath interaction in diamond and enables detection of weak AC signals (below 1 MHz) with enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to SNR = 17. The method is based on AC magnetometry with single- and double-dressed states that are adiabatically transferred from the initial qubit states using concatenated continuous dynamical decoupling. This work paves a way toward sensitive detection of weakly coupled nuclear spins in low-field NMR experiments.
