The use of entangled states was shown to improve the fundamental limits of spectroscopy to beyond the standard-quantum limit. In these Heisenberg-limited protocols the phase between two states in an entangled superposition evolves N-fold faster than in the uncorrelated case, where N for example can be the number of entangled atoms in a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state. Here we propose and demonstrate the use of correlated spin-Hamiltonians for the realization of Heisenberg-limited Rabi-type spectroscopy. Rather than probing the free evolution of the phase of an entangled state with respect to a local oscillator (LO), we probe the evolution of an, initially separable, two-atom register under an Ising spin-Hamiltonian with a transverse field. The resulting correlated spin-rotation spectrum is twice as narrow as compared with uncorrelated rotation. We implement this Heisenberg-limited Rabi spectroscopy scheme on the optical-clock electric-quadrupole transition of $^{88}$Sr$^+$ using a two-ion crystal. We further show that depending on the initial state, correlated rotation can occur in two orthogonal sub-spaces of the full Hilbert space, yielding Heisenberg-limited spectroscopy of either the average transition frequency of the two ions or their difference from the mean frequency. The potential improvement of clock stability due to the use of entangled states depends on the details of the method used and the dominating decoherence mechanism. The use of correlated spin-rotations can therefore potentially lead to new paths for clock stability improvement.
Measurement underpins all quantitative science. A key example is the measurement of optical phase, used in length metrology and many other applications. Advances in precision measurement have consistently led to important scientific discoveries. At t
Two-mode interferometers, such as Michelson interferometer based on two spatial optical modes, lay the foundations for quantum metrology. Instead of exploring quantum entanglement in the two-mode interferometers, a single bosonic mode also promises a
We describe an assembly of N superconducting qubits contained in a single-mode cavity. In the dispersive regime, the correlation between the cavity field and each qubit results in an effective interaction between qubits that can be used to dynamicall
Two proof-of-principle experiments towards T1-limited magnetic resonance imaging with NV centers in diamond are demonstrated. First, a large number of Rabi oscillations is measured and it is demonstrated that the hyperfine interaction due to the NVs
The goal of quantum metrology is the precise estimation of parameters using quantum properties such as entanglement. This estimation usually consists of three steps: state preparation, time evolution during which information of the parameters is enco
