• Authors: Constantin Brif, Brandon P. Ruzic, Grant W. Biedermann
• Abstract summary: We study the effects of error sources that may limit the sensitivity of atom interferometry devices. Errors include errors in the preparation of the initial entangled state, imperfections in the laser pulses, momentum spread of the initial atomic wave packet, measurement errors, spontaneous emission, and atom loss. Based on the performed analysis, entanglement-enhanced atom interferometry appears to be feasible with existing experimental capabilities.

• Abstract: Recent progress in generating entangled spin states of neutral atoms provides opportunities to advance quantum sensing technology. In particular, entanglement can enhance the performance of accelerometers and gravimeters based on light-pulse atom interferometry. We study the effects of error sources that may limit the sensitivity of such devices, including errors in the preparation of the initial entangled state, imperfections in the laser pulses, momentum spread of the initial atomic wave packet, measurement errors, spontaneous emission, and atom loss. We determine that, for each of these errors, the expectation value of the parity operator $\Pi$ has the general form, $\overline{\langle \Pi \rangle} = \Pi_0 \cos( N \phi )$, where $\phi$ is the interferometer phase and $N$ is the number of atoms prepared in the maximally entangled Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger state. Correspondingly, the minimum phase uncertainty has the general form, $\Delta\phi = (\Pi_0 N)^{-1}$. Each error manifests itself through a reduction of the amplitude of the parity oscillations, $\Pi_0$, below the ideal value of $\Pi_0 = 1$. For each of the errors, we derive an analytic result that expresses the dependence of $\Pi_0$ on error parameter(s) and $N$, and also obtain a simplified approximate expression valid when the error is small. Based on the performed analysis, entanglement-enhanced atom interferometry appears to be feasible with existing experimental capabilities.

  We argue that residual is, at best, an indirect measure of the error of approximate solution. Since error majorant provides a direct upper bound on error, one can reliably estimate how close PiNN is to the exact solution.

  atom interferometer (which controls the sensitivity) can be increased by providing a larger momentum kick to the atom cloud. One such atom optics technique involves increasing the number of central $pi-$Raman pulses. Increased time in the intermediate high energy state results in a higher probability of undesired spontaneous decay and a loss of quantum information.

  We study the decoherence of a system of $N$ non-interacting heavy particles (atoms) due to coherent scattering with a background gas. We introduce a framework for computing the induced phase shift and loss of contrast for arbitrary preparations of $N$-particle quantum states. We find phase shifts that are inherently $(Ngeq 2)$-body effects and may be searched for in future experiments.
