Sub-Projection-Noise Sensitivity in Broadband Atomic Magnetometry

Marco Koschorreck, M. Napolitano, B. Dubost +1 more

We demonstrate sub-projection-noise sensitivity of a broadband atomic magnetometer using quantum nondemolition spin measurements. A cold, dipole-trapped sample of rubidium atoms provides a long-lived spin system in a nonmagnetic environment, and is probed nondestructively by paramagnetic Faraday rotation. The calibration procedure employs as 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 a sensitivity 1.6 dB (2.8 dB) better than projection-noise (thermal state quantum noise) and will enable squeezing-enhanced broadband magnetometry.

Thermal fluctuation noise in a superconducting flux detector

J. Kurkijärvi, Watt W. Webb

Abstract : The principal merit of superconducting quantum interference flux detectors is their remarkable sensitivity. Nevertheless, a basis for calculating their thermal fluctuation noise limitations has only recently been given by J. Kurkijarvi. Here the theory is applied to a calculate the intrinsic noise of the popular radio frequency biased super-conducting quantum flux detector.

Measurement of Spin Projection Noise in Broadband Atomic Magnetometry

Marco Koschorreck, M. Napolitano, B. Dubost +1 more

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)].
