Noise, Decoherence and Control
Realistic quantum channels, dynamical decoupling and robust estimation.
Concept 21Noise spectral density
Noise is frequency-dependent and should be matched to the sensing sequence.
Concept 22Dephasing and relaxationEnvironmental coupling reduces useful phase information.
Concept 23Dynamical decouplingControl pulses reverse accumulated unwanted phase while retaining selected signals.
Concept 24Lock-in quantum sensingA synchronized pulse sequence selectively amplifies an oscillating signal.
Concept 25Measurement back-actionMeasuring a quantum system can disturb a conjugate observable.
Concept 26Open-system master equationsRealistic sensors exchange information and energy with environments.
Concept 27Bayesian adaptive estimationEach measurement updates what is known about an unknown parameter.
