Collective State Measurement of Mesoscopic Ensembles with Single-Atom Resolution

Collective State Measurement of Mesoscopic Ensembles with Single-Atom Resolution

We demonstrate single-atom resolution, as well as detection sensitivity more than 20 dB below the quantum projection noise limit, for hyperfine-state-selective measurements on mesoscopic ensembles containing 100 or more atoms. The measurement detects the atom-induced shift of the resonance frequency...
