Experimental proof of quantum Zeno-assisted noise sensing

Abstract: In the ideal quantum Zeno (QZ) effect, repeated quantum projective measurements can freeze the coherent dynamics of a quantum system. However, in the weak QZ regime, measurement backactions can allow the sensing of semi-classical field fluctuations. In this regard, we theoretically show how to combine the controlled manipulation of a quantum two-level system, used as a probe, with a sequence of projective measurements to have direct access to the noise correlation function. We experimentally test the effective… Show more

“…If the QNS protocol is sufficiently powerful to characterize the leading correlation functions and matches the model, in principle the inferred information can be plugged into a cumulant expansion or a Dyson series expansion of V O (t) to successfully obtain an estimate of the operator for any choice of f α (t), as desired. This has led to a proliferation of increasingly more powerful QNS protocols, including those capable of characterizing the noise model described here 10 , some of which have even been experimentally verified [1][2][3][4]7,8,13,49,50 . More generally, the idea of optimizing control procedures to a known noise spectrum 22 is behind some of the most remarkable coherence times available in the literature 51 .…”

“…The interaction of a quantum system with its environment has often a detrimental effect, inducing decoherence and information losses [1]. However, a proper control and design of the system-environment coupling via the combination of coherent and non-unitary operations is a fundamental resource for quantum information processing [2,3], quantum simulation [4], quantum sensing [5][6][7], and quantum thermodynamics [8][9][10]. Dissipative operations-achieved e.g.…”
