Abstract

We propose a motional dynamical decoupling technique by utilizing a sequence of $\pi$-phase shifts, instead of the conventional $\pi$-pulses for spin flipping, to implement the quantum enhanced rotation sensing with a 1+2 dimensional hybrid atomic Sagnic interferometor. By fully disentangling the spin from the two-dimensional vibrational modes of the particle under rotation, the spin coherence time and thus the phase accumulation can be significantly increased. Consequently, both the achievable sensitivity and dynamic range of the rotation sensing can be significantly enhanced and extended simultaneously, compared to the previous schemes where the spin and motions of the particle were not completely decoupled. The experimental feasibility for the unambiguous estimation of the rotation parameters is also discussed. Hopefully, this technique holds promise for overcoming certain challenges existing in the usual matter-wave Sagnac interferometers with trapped particles, particularly for the practical inertial navigation that demands both high sensitivity and large dynamic range.
