宽带原子磁测量中自旋投影噪声的测量

Measurement of Spin Projection Noise in Broadband Atomic Magnetometry

摘要:

我们使用量子非破坏自旋测量来测量宽带原子磁力计的灵敏度。一个冷的,偶极捕获的铷原子样品在非磁性环境中提供了一个长寿命的自旋系统,并通过顺磁法拉第旋转进行非破坏性探测。校准过程采用已知的参考状态,最大熵或“热”自旋状态和基于定量成像的原子计数,以识别探针和自旋系统中的电子,量子和技术噪声。测量实现的灵敏度比投影噪声水平高2.8 dB(如果抑制光学噪声,则高6dB),并且将实现挤压增强宽带磁力测定[Geremia等人PRL 94,203002(2005)]。

英文摘要:

We measure the sensitivity of a broadband atomic magnetometer using quantum non-demolition spin measurements. A cold, dipole-trapped sample of rubidium atoms provides a long-lived spin system in a non-magnetic environment, and is probed non-destructively by paramagnetic Faraday rotation. The calibration procedure employs a known reference state, the maximum-entropy or 'thermal' spin state and quantitative imaging-based atom counting to identify electronic, quantum, and technical noise in both the probe and spin system. The measurement achieves sensitivity 2.8 dB better than the projection noise level (6dB better if optical noise is suppressed) and will enable squeezing-enhanced broadband magnetometry [Geremia, et al. PRL 94, 203002 (2005)].
