QRUM Multi-Modal Quantum Perturbation Detection Architecture: A Neutrino-Inspired Framework for Phase, Frequency, and Coherence-Based Sensing

Gabor P.

Description This preprint presents the QRUM Multi-Modal Quantum Perturbation Detection Architecture (QMQPDA), a phenomenological experimental framework designed to investigate ultraweak perturbative signatures using multiple independent precision sensing technologies. Rather than proposing a new fundamental interaction or replacing established physical theories, the framework explores whether resonance, phase, frequency, coherence, and timing measurements may provide experimentally testable observational responses under highly coherent conditions. The proposed architecture combines superconducting microwave resonators, atom interferometers, optical atomic clocks, cryogenic resonators, SQUID magnetometers, environmental monitoring, and statistical multi-channel correlation analysis into a unified precision-measurement platform. The work is intended as a conceptual and experimentally testable research framework. The proposed architecture remains hypothetical and requires future experimental validation.

Quantum metrology with atom and light correlation

Feng Xiao-Tian, Chun-Hua Yuan, Chen Li-Qing +3 more

The measurement of physical quantities and measurement units standard promote the development of metrology. Especially, the developments of laser interference and atomic frequency standard bring a revolutionary leap for metrology. Many precision measurement techniques have been proposed and experimentally demonstrated, such as gravitational wave measurements and laser gyroscopes based on laser interferometry, and atomic clocks and atomic gyroscopes based on the atom interferometry. Recently, a new branch of science, quantum metrology, has grown up to further explore and exploit the quantum techniques for precision measurement of physical quantities.#br#This paper will focus on recent developments in quantum metrology and interference based on coherence and correlation of light and atom. Firstly, we briefly review the development of metrology. Then, we introduce our own researches in recent years, including quantum-correlation SU(1,1) optical interferometer based on four wave mixing process in atomic vapor and the atom-light hybrid interferometer based on Raman scattering in atomic vapor.#br#Interferometer is a powerful tool to measure physical quantities sensitive to the inference wave with high precision, and has been widely used in scientific research, industry test, navigation and guidance system. For example, the laser interferometer is able to measure optical phase sensitive quantities, including length, angular velocity, gravitational wave and so on. Meanwhile, the atom interferometer is sensitive to the change of atomic phase caused by the light, gravity, electric and magnetic fields. As a new type of interferometry, the atom-light hybrid interferometer, is sensitive to both the optical phase and atomic phase. Furthermore, SU(1,1) interferometer and nonlinear atom-light hybrid interferometer have the ability to beat the standard quantum limit of phase sensitivity. Quantum interference technology, whose phase measurement accuracy can break through the limit of standard quantum limit, is the core of quantum metrology and quantum measurement technology.

Enhanced on-chip phase measurement by inverse weak value amplification

Meiting Song, John Steinmetz, Yi Zhang +4 more

Optical interferometry plays an essential role in precision metrology such as in gravitational wave detection, gyroscopes, and environmental sensing. Weak value amplification enables reaching the shot-noise-limit of sensitivity, which is difficult for most optical sensors, by amplifying the interferometric signal without amplifying certain technical noises. We implement a generalized form of weak value amplification on an integrated photonic platform with a multi-mode interferometer. Our results pave the way for a more sensitive, robust, and compact platform for measuring phase, which can be adapted to fields such as coherent communications and the quantum domain. In this work, we show a 7 dB signal enhancement in our weak value device over a standard Mach-Zehnder interferometer with equal detected optical power, as well as frequency measurements with 2 kHz sensitivity by adding a ring resonator.

Critical Microwave Mach-Zehnder-Type Interferometry with Dual-LO Rydberg Atoms

Jun-Rong Chen, Guo-Qing Qin, Peng-Fu Liang +7 more

High-precision phase measurement of microwave fields underpins a wide range of applications, including wireless communications, distributed radar, plasma diagnostics, and antenna metrology. Existing Rydberg-atom-based approaches, however, often face trade-offs among phase resolution, measurement range, and system complexity. Here we demonstrate a Rydberg-atom-based microwave Mach-Zehnder-type interferometer using a dual-local-oscillator configuration. The two local oscillators establish two coherent interferometric pathways in the Rydberg medium. Their coherent mixing with the signal field produces an interferometric intermediate-frequency output governed by a phase-to-intensity transfer characteristic that enables critical-point enhancement. This scheme supports direct phase retrieval with a resolution exceeding $0.1^\circ$ and unambiguous full $360^\circ$ phase coverage with the reconfigurable dual-LO architecture. Moreover, near the critical interference point, the system exhibits a sharply enhanced phase-to-amplitude transduction, where weak amplitude variations are converted into pronounced phase responses, yielding a sensitivity enhancement exceeding 25 dB. Besides, the same interferometric transfer mechanism enables microwave propagation-distance and polarization metrology, achieving a propagation-distance precision below 20 $μ$m at 5.7 GHz together with a polarization-angle resolution exceeding $0.1^\circ$. This approach eliminates the need for complex optical configurations and lock-in detection, providing a simple, scalable, and reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder-type quantum microwave interferometry framework for multifunctional high-precision microwave metrology.
