• Abstract summary: We investigate how the number of sensors and fidelity affect sensitivity to continuous and intermittent signals. We find that increasing the number of sensors by $1/F2$ for $F1$ always recovers the sensitivity achieved when $F=1$. We also demonstrate the importance of near-unity control fidelity and readout at the quantum projection noise limit.

• Abstract: Realistic quantum sensors face a trade-off between the number of sensors measured in parallel and the control and readout fidelity ($F$) across the ensemble. We investigate how the number of sensors and fidelity affect sensitivity to continuous and intermittent signals. For continuous signals, we find that increasing the number of sensors by $1/F^2$ for $F<1$ always recovers the sensitivity achieved when $F=1$. However, when the signal is intermittent, more sensors are needed to recover the sensitivity achievable with one perfect quantum sensor. We also demonstrate the importance of near-unity control fidelity and readout at the quantum projection noise limit by estimating the frequency components of a stochastic, intermittent signal with a single trapped ion sensor. Quantum sensing has historically focused on large ensembles of sensors operated far from the standard quantum limit. The results presented in this manuscript show that this is insufficient for quantum sensing of intermittent signals and re-emphasizes the importance of the unique scaling of quantum projection noise near an eigenstate.

We experimentally demonstrate a quantum noise reduction of 1.7 dB and a classical 3 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement over the separable sensing approach. Our results pave the way for developing quantum enhanced sensor networks that can achieve an entanglement-enhanced sensitivity.

• Versatile Atomic Magnetometry Assisted by Bayesian Inference [0.0]
  Quantum sensors translate external fields into a periodic response whose frequency is then determined by analyses performed in Fourier space. In practice, however, quantum sensors are able to detect fields only in a narrow range of amplitudes and frequencies. A departure from this range, as well as the presence of significant noise sources and short detection times, lead to a loss of the linear relationship between the response of the sensor and the target field.
