A new quantum metrology system called the Heisenberg scaler has been developed by NIST. The system aims to reduce noise in quantum measurements by processing data through several components.
The system starts with a stimulus source that provides physical stimuli to a quantum sensor. The sensor receives two stimuli and produces a measured action parameter. This parameter is then processed by an estimation machine to produce a zeroth-order value.
The system also includes a gradient analyzer that receives the measured action parameter and produces a gradient. This gradient is used to refine the data further. The sensor interrogation unit receives the modal amplitude, gradient, and measured action parameter to produce a perturbation pulse and a first-order value.
Finally, the Heisenberg determination machine uses the zeroth-order and first-order values to calculate the physical scalar, which measures the noise reduction in the system. By processing data through these components, the Heisenberg scaler aims to provide more accurate quantum measurements with reduced noise.
