Magnetic tensor gradiometry using Ramsey interferometry of spinor condensates (1408.0944v2)

Published 5 Aug 2014 in quant-ph, cond-mat.quant-gas, and physics.atom-ph

Abstract: We have realized a magnetic tensor gradiometer by interferometrically measuring the relative phase between two spatially separated Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). We perform simultaneous Ramsey interferometry of the proximate ${87}$Rb spin-1 condensates in freefall and infer their relative Larmor phase -- and thus the differential magnetic field strength -- with a common-mode phase noise suppression exceeding $50\,\mathrm{dB}$. By appropriately biasing the magnetic field and separating the BECs along orthogonal directions, we measure the magnetic field gradient tensor of ambient and applied magnetic fields with a nominal precision of $30\,\mathrm{\mu G\,cm{-1}}$ and a sensor volume of $2\times10{-5}\,\mathrm{mm}3$. We predict a spin-projection noise limited magnetic energy resolution of order $\hbar$ for typical Zeeman coherence times of trapped condensates with this scheme, even with the low measurement duty cycle inherent to BEC experiments.
