Researchers developed spin grid states that achieve 24x precision improvement in atomic clocks with 51+ atoms, surpassing GHZ configurations when spontaneous emission limits measurement time—a practical advance for resilient quantum sensing.
Spin grid states outperform GHZ and squeezed states for quantum metrology in noisy atomic clocks. Generated via two OAT operations, these entangled states achieve near-optimal precision for large ensembles despite spontaneous emission.
