Non-destructive measurement of electron spins in a quantum dot

Abstract

We propose and implement a non-destructive measurement that distinguishes between two-electron spin states in a quantum dot. In contrast to earlier experiments with quantum dots, the spins are left behind in the state corresponding to the measurement outcome. By measuring the spin states twice within a time shorter than the relaxation time, T1, correlations between consecutive measurements are observed. They disappear as the wait time between measurements become comparable to T1. The correlation between the post-measurement state and the measurement outcome is measured to be ~90% on average.
