Quantum Assisted Sensing, Simulation and Control

A. Ajoy

Ph.D. thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2016)

Abstract

This thesis describes experimental and theoretical work making contributions in the general areas of quantum metrology, simulation and control. Specifically, we describe new approaches for high resolution magnetic resonance imaging using quantum sensors, that could potentially achieve the determination of single molecular structure. We show experiments that boost the sensing resolution of these sensors by over a factor of 100. We also develop separate methods for the sensitive detection of DC magnetic fields, and rotations. Also developed are techniques for the engineering of many-body Hamiltonians with restricted just global control fields, a task of wide interest for quantum simulation. Finally the toolbox available for quantum control is expanded for various applications in quantum information processing and simulation.
