High-precision magnetic field measurement is an ubiquitous issue in physics and a critical task in metrology. Generally, magnetic field has DC and AC components and it is hard to extract both DC and AC components simultaneously. The conventional Ramsey interferometry can easily measure DC magnetic fields, while it becomes invalid for AC magnetic fields since the accumulated phases may average to zero. Here, we propose a scheme for simultaneous measurement of DC and AC magnetic fields by combining Ramsey interferometry and rapid periodic pulses. In our scheme, the interrogation stage is divided into two signal accumulation processes linked by a unitary operation. In the first process, only DC component contributes to the accumulated phase. In the second process, by applying multiple rapid periodic $pi$ pulses, only the AC component gives rise to the accumulated phase. By selecting suitable input state and the unitary operations in interrogation and readout stages, and the DC and AC components can be extracted by population measurements. In particular, if the input state is a GHZ state and two interaction-based operations are applied during the interferometry, the measurement precisions of DC and AC magnetic fields can approach the Heisenberg limit simultaneously. Our scheme provides a feasible way to achieve Heisenberg-limited simultaneous measurement of DC and AC fields.

We investigate the effects of static electric and magnetic fields on the differential ac Stark shifts for microwave transitions in ultracold bosonic $^{87}$Rb$^{133}$Cs molecules, for light of wavelength $lambda = 1064~mathrm{nm}$. Near this waveleng th we observe unexpected two-photon transitions that may cause trap loss. We measure the ac Stark effect in external magnetic and electric fields, using microwave spectroscopy of the first rotational transition. We quantify the isotropic and anisotropic parts of the molecular polarizability at this wavelength. We demonstrate that a modest electric field can decouple the nuclear spins from the rotational angular momentum, greatly simplifying the ac Stark effect. We use this simplification to control the ac Stark shift using the polarization angle of the trapping laser.
In this work we report the modification of the normal Auger line shape under the action of an intense x-ray radiation. Under strong Rabi-type coupling of the core, the Auger line profile develops into a doublet structure with an energy separation mai nly determined by the relative strength of the Rabi coupling. In addition, we find that the charge resolved ion yields can be controlled by judicious choice of the x-ray frequency.

The spin-magnetic moment of the proton $mu_p$ is a fundamental property of this particle. So far $mu_p$ has only been measured indirectly, analysing the spectrum of an atomic hydrogen maser in a magnetic field. Here, we report the direct high-precisi on measurement of the magnetic moment of a single proton using the double Penning-trap technique. We drive proton-spin quantum jumps by a magnetic radio-frequency field in a Penning trap with a homogeneous magnetic field. The induced spin-transitions are detected in a second trap with a strong superimposed magnetic inhomogeneity. This enables the measurement of the spin-flip probability as a function of the drive frequency. In each measurement the protons cyclotron frequency is used to determine the magnetic field of the trap. From the normalized resonance curve, we extract the particles magnetic moment in units of the nuclear magneton $mu_p=2.792847350(9)mu_N$. This measurement outperforms previous Penning trap measurements in terms of precision by a factor of about 760. It improves the precision of the forty year old indirect measurement, in which significant theoretical bound state corrections were required to obtain $mu_p$, by a factor of 3. By application of this method to the antiproton magnetic moment $mu_{bar{p}}$ the fractional precision of the recently reported value can be improved by a factor of at least 1000. Combined with the present result, this will provide a stringent test of matter/antimatter symmetry with baryons.
Sensing static or slowly varying magnetic fields with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is critical to many applications in fundamental physics, bioimaging and materials science. Several versatile magnetometry platforms have emerged over the pa st decade, such as electronic spins associated with Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. However, their high sensitivity to external fields also makes them poor sensors of DC fields. Indeed, the usual method of Ramsey magnetometry leaves them prone to environmental noise, limiting the allowable interrogation time to the short dephasing time T2*. Here we introduce a hybridized magnetometery platform, consisting of a sensor and ancilla, that allows sensing static magnetic fields with interrogation times up to the much longer T2 coherence time, allowing significant potential gains in field sensitivity. While more generally applicable, we demonstrate the method for an electronic NV sensor and a nuclear ancilla. It relies on frequency upconversion of transverse DC fields through the ancilla, allowing quantum lock-in detection with low-frequency noise rejection. In our experiments, we demonstrate sensitivities better than 6uT/vHz, comparable to the Ramsey method, and narrow-band signal noise filtering better than 64kHz. With technical optimization, we expect more than an one order of magnitude improvement in each of these parameters. Since our method measures transverse fields, in combination with the Ramsey detection of longitudinal fields, it ushers in a compelling technique for sensitive vector DC magnetometry at the nanoscale.

The convention in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) physics of employing the dipole approximation to describe laser-induced processes replaces four source-free Maxwell equations governing laser fields with a single Maxwell equation for a proxy fie ld that requires a virtual source current for its existence. Laser fields are transverse, but proxy fields are longitudinal; there can be no gauge equivalence. The proxy field is sometimes serviceable, but its limitations are severe. One example is the above-threshold ionization (ATI) phenomenon; surprising by proxy-field understanding, but natural and predicted in advance of observation with a laser-field method. An often-overlooked limitation is that numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE) is exact for proxy fields, but not for laser fields. Acceptance of proxy-field concepts has been costly in terms of inefficiently deployed research resources. Calculations with a nearly-40-year old transverse-field method remain unmatched with proxy fields. The transverse-field method is applicable in the tunneling domain, the multiphoton domain, and, as shown here, in the low-frequency magnetic domain. Attempts to introduce low-frequency magnetic field corrections into TDSE cannot be expected to produce meaningful results. They would be based on inappropriate Maxwell equations, a non-existent virtual source, and would approach constant electric field properties as the field frequency declines. Laser fields propagate at the speed of light for all frequencies; they cannot approach a constant-field limit. Extremely strong laser fields are unambiguously relativistic; a nonrelativistic limit that connects continuously to the relativistic domain is simpler conceptually and mathematically than is a theory constructed with a proxy field that is certain to fail as intensities increase.
