Quantum noise limited and entanglement-assisted magnetometry. Quantum-enhanced measurements: beating the standard quantum limit. This highly sensitive, non-invasive space- and time-resolved field measurement extends the realm of electrometric techniques 14, 15, 16, 17 and could have important practical applications: detection of individual electrons in mesoscopic devices 18, 19, 20, 21 at a distance of about 100 micrometres with a megahertz bandwidth is within reach. Using this method, we reach a single-shot sensitivity of 1.2 millivolts per centimetre for a 100-nanosecond interaction time, corresponding to 30 microvolts per centimetre per square root hertz at our 3 kilohertz repetition rate. We show that the fundamental Heisenberg limit 13 can be approached when the Rydberg atom undergoes a non-classical evolution through Schrödinger-cat states. Here we report a measurement of an electric field based on an electrometer consisting of a large angular momentum (quantum number J ≈ 25) carried by a single atom in a high-energy Rydberg state. However, the metrological use of the latter 8, 9, 10 has been so far restricted to meters with a relatively small total angular momentum because the experimental preparation of these non-classical states is very challenging 11, 12.

When the meter is a large angular momentum, going beyond the standard quantum limit requires non-classical states such as squeezed states 2, 3, 4 or Schrödinger-cat-like states 5, 6, 7. If the uncertainty is distributed equally between conjugate variables of the meter system, the measurement precision cannot exceed the standard quantum limit.
