Analysis of quantum-nondemolition measurement

William George Unruh

The quantum-nondemolition measurement process suggested by Braginsky and co-workers is analyzed and shown not to work because of the fundamentally linear coupling between the oscillator and the measuring apparatus. A second-order coupling would work but the effect is probably too small for experimental realization.

Quantum Nondemolition Measurements of a Qubit

D. V. Averin

The concept of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement is extended to coherent oscillations in an individual two-state system. Such a measurement enables direct observation of an intrinsic spectrum of these oscillations avoiding the detector-induced dephasing that affects the standard (non-QND) measurements. The suggested scheme can be realized in Josephson-junction qubits which combine flux and charge dynamics.
