Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of weak measurement technology, and in particular to a phase demodulation method and system in a weak measurement system. Background Art

[0002] Quantum sensing exploits the properties of quantum mechanics to overcome the limitations of classical sensing and circumvent the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, enabling more sensitive and accurate measurements of physical quantities. Its performance far surpasses that of classical sensing in many technological applications. Weak measurement, as a quantum measurement, differs from strong measurement in that it minimally perturbs the system and can only obtain limited quantum state information. However, when preselection and postselection work together, weak measurement can achieve astonishing results far exceeding the eigenvalues. Since its discovery by Aharonov et al. in 1988, weak measurement has been applied to various fields and yielded numerous research results, most notably the ultra-sensitive measurement of the spin Hall effect. Despite the significant advancements in the application of weak measurement technology, current research primarily focuses on the high-precision detection of a single weak physical quantity. Addressing the adverse effects of phase drift caused by the external environment and the initial phase drift on phase demodulation has been understudied. To expand the practical application of weak measurement technology, it is necessary to eliminate the effects of initial phase drift and environmental factors on the detection sensitivity of weak measurement systems. Therefore, a signal detection method suitable for weak measurement systems is one approach to address this issue.
