Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a method for determining the component of a magnetic field in a predetermined direction. The method comprises preparing a quantum system in a coherent superposition state (S1), letting the quantum system evolve for a delay time period (S2) and performing a readout operation and a projective measurement on the quantum system (S3). The steps (S1, S2, S3) are iteratively repeated in an iteration loop, wherein the delay time period increases linearly by the same time increment after each iteration. The method further comprises determining the component of the magnetic field in the predetermined direction according to the outcome of the projective measurements (S4). |
