High-Resolution Magnetometry with a Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensate

Abstract

We demonstrate a precision magnetic microscope based on direct imaging of the Larmor precession of a ${}^{87}$Rb spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. This magnetometer attains a field sensitivity of 8.3 pT/Hz${}^{1/2}$ over a measurement area of 120 $\mu$m${}^2$, an improvement over the low-frequency field sensitivity of modern SQUID magnetometers. The corresponding atom shot-noise limited sensitivity is estimated to be 0.15 pT/Hz${}^{1/2}$ for unity duty cycle measurement. The achieved phase sensitivity is close to the atom shot-noise limit suggesting possibilities of spatially resolved spin-squeezed magnetometry. This magnetometer marks a significant application of degenerate atomic gases to metrology.
