Quantum sensing with arbitrary frequency resolution

Abstract: Quantum sensing takes advantage of well-controlled quantum systems for performing measurements with high sensitivity and precision. We have implemented a concept for quantum sensing with arbitrary frequency resolution, independent of the qubit probe and limited only by the stability of an external synchronization clock. Our concept makes use of quantum lock-in detection to continuously probe a signal of interest. Using the electronic spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, we demonstrate detection… Show more

“…information as opposed to bulk NMR, where the couplings typically hamper structure analysis. The spectral resolution can be improved by, for example, the Qdyne technique [30,31] and weak measurement readout. [32,33] The sensitivity can be improved by more efficient readout method [34] and speed-up algorithm.…”

“…Many breakthroughs that have been achieved by physicists, still await their realization in a biological environment. Some of the most exciting developments for quantum sensing are new pulsing protocols which promise selectivity for different elements or even the ability to measure chemical shifts . Yet, other efforts lead the way toward the highest possible sensitivity with the ultimate goal of atomic resolution .…”

“…Some of the most exciting developments for quantum sensing are new pulsing protocols which promise selectivity for different elements or even the ability to measure chemical shifts. [169] Yet, other efforts lead the way toward the highest possible sensitivity with the ultimate goal of atomic resolution. [170] Although the sensitivity that has been achieved for diamond sensors is already quite impressive in some cases, we are still far from what is theoretically possible.…”

“…As an alternative, quantum metrology protocols such as dynamical decoupling [37][38][39], compressive sensing [40,41] or Hamiltonian estimation [42] can provide retrospective insight into magnetic waveforms. The recent demonstrations of quantum lock-in detection measure the frequency of continuously oscillating fields with superb submillihertz precision [43][44][45]. Contemporary approaches have used entanglement to enhance rf field detection [46], and predictive filters to track time-dependent signals [47].…”
