Quantum metrology to probe atomic parity nonconservation

Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: An entangled state prepared in a decoherence-free subspace, together with a Ramsey-type measurement, can probe parity violation in heavy alkali-metal ions such as Ba${}^{+}$ or Ra${}^{+}$. Here we propose an experiment with Ba${}^{+}$ as an example to measure the small parity-violating effect in this system. It has been shown that a measurement on a maximally correlated system will reduce the uncertainty as compared to that on a single ion measurement, and also provides a feasible solution to measure the nuclear-spin-dependent part of the total parity-violating light shift in an ionic system.
