The ideal quantum Zeno effect is a robust method to protect the coherent dynamics of a quantum system. In particular , in the weak quantum Zeno regime, repeated quantum projective measurements can allow the sensing of semi classical field fluctuations. We report our proposal and demonstration, both theoretical and experimental, of a novel noise sensing scheme enabled by the weak quantum Zeno regime. We experimentally tested these theoretical results on a Bose Einstein Condensate of 87Rb atoms realized on an atom chip, by sensing ad hoc introduced noisy fields. H.–V. Do et al., |
Atoms few, damned but quick... Magnetic fields sources, RF antennas, optical structures, all integrated in a micro-chip with a Bose-Einstein condensate a few hundred microns from the surface: an "Atom chip". The benefits are higher trap frequencies, shorter evaporative time, better atom-field coupling plus a much (much) cheaper set-up. The goal of our experiment is to make the best use of Atom chips for quantum technological applications.
