Resolving an Individual One-Proton Spin Flip to Determine a Proton Spin State

Abstract

Previous measurements with a single trapped proton or antiproton detected spin resonance from the increased scatter of frequency measurements caused by many spin flips. Here a measured correlation confirms that individual spin transitions and states are detected instead. The high fidelity suggests that it may be possible to use quantum jump spectroscopy to measure the p and magnetic moments much more precisely.
