Some Remarks on Noncommutative Instantons
We make some comments on noncommutative -instantons on
. We elaborate on the equations for the ASD-connection
for free modules. Further we make some remarks on the computation of the
topological index of ADHM instantons.Comment: 13 page
High-precision force sensing using a single trapped ion
We introduce quantum sensing schemes for measuring very weak forces with a
single trapped ion. They use the spin-motional coupling induced by the
laser-ion interaction to transfer the relevant force information to the
spin-degree of freedom. Therefore, the force estimation is carried out simply
by observing the Ramsey-type oscillations of the ion spin states. Three quantum
probes are considered, which are represented by systems obeying the
Jaynes-Cummings, quantum Rabi (in 1D) and Jahn-Teller (in 2D) models. By using
dynamical decoupling schemes in the Jaynes-Cummings and Jahn-Teller models, our
force sensing protocols can be made robust to the spin dephasing caused by the
thermal and magnetic field fluctuations. In the quantum-Rabi probe, the
residual spin-phonon coupling vanishes, which makes this sensing protocol
naturally robust to thermally-induced spin dephasing. We show that the proposed
techniques can be used to sense the axial and transverse components of the
force with a sensitivity beyond the yN range, i.e. in the
xN (xennonewton, ). The Jahn-Teller protocol, in
particular, can be used to implement a two-channel vector spectrum analyzer for
measuring ultra-low voltages.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
