Robust quantum parameter estimation: Coherent magnetometry with feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the formalism for optimally estimating and controlling both the state of a spin ensemble and a scalar magnetic field with information obtained from a continuous quantum limited measurement of the spin precession due to the field. The full quantum parameter estimation model is reduced to a simplified equivalent representation to which classical estimation and control theory is applied. We consider both the tracking of static and fluctuating fields in the transient and steady-state regimes. By using feedback control, the field estimation can be made robust to uncertainty about the total spin number.

Amplified Quantum Dynamics and Enhanced Parameter Sensitivity via Coherent Feedback in Collective Atomic Spin Systems
We consider the effective dynamics obtained by double-passing a fardetuned laser probe through a large atomic spin system. The net result of the atomfield interaction is a type of coherent positive feedback that amplifies the values of selected spin observables. An effective equation of motion for the atomic system is presented, and an approximate 2-parameter model of the dynamics is developed ...
متن کاملRobust H∞ coherent-classical estimation of linear quantum systems
Abstract— We study robust H∞ coherent-classical estimation for a class of physically realizable linear quantum systems with parameter uncertainties. Such a robust coherent-classical estimator, with or without coherent feedback, can yield better disturbance-to-error performance than the corresponding robust purely-classical estimator for an uncertain plant. Moreover, coherent feedback allows for...
متن کاملSuppression of spin projection noise in broadband atomic magnetometry.
We demonstrate that quantum nondemolition measurement, combined with a suitable parameter estimation procedure, can improve the sensitivity of a broadband atomic magnetometer by reducing uncertainty due to spin projection noise. Furthermore, we provide evidence that real-time quantum feedback control offers robustness to classical uncertainties, including shot-to-shot atom number fluctuations, ...
متن کاملCompressing Measurements in Quantum Dynamic Parameter Estimation
We present methods that can provide an exponential savings in the resources required to perform dynamic parameter estimation using quantum systems. The key idea is to merge classical compressive sensing techniques with quantum control methods to efficiently estimate time-dependent parameters in the system Hamiltonian. We show that incoherent measurement bases and, more generally, suitable rando...
متن کاملCoherent-Classical Estimation for Linear Quantum Systems
We consider a coherent-classical estimation scheme for a class of linear quantum systems, where the estimator is a mixed quantum-classical system that may or may not involve coherent feedback. We show that when the quantum plant or the quantum part of the estimator (coherent controller) is an annihilation operator only system, coherent-classical estimation without coherent feedback can provide ...
