Ultrasensitive and low detection limit of acetone gas sensor based on ZnO/SnO2 thick films
In this study, we synthesized ZnO/SnO2 hybrid sensing nanostructures by a sol–gel method. The structures, composition and morphologies of the synthesized products were thoroughly studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission electron scanning ...

Detection of amplitude modulation with squeezed light for sensitivity beyond the shot-noise limit [PDF]
An improvement in precision beyond the limit set by the vacuum-state or zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field is reported for the detection of amplitude modulation encoded on a weak signal beam. The improvement is achieved by employing the

Calibration of a single atom detector for atomic micro chips [PDF]
We experimentally investigate a scheme for detecting single atoms magnetically trapped on an atom chip. The detector is based on the photoionization of atoms and the subsequent detection of the generated ions.

Sub-shot-noise shadow sensing with quantum correlations [PDF]
The quantised nature of the electromagnetic field sets the classical limit to the sensitivity of position measurements. However, techniques based on the properties of quantum states can be exploited to accurately measure the relative displacement of a ...
