Abstract
We propose a multimeasurement estimation protocol for quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements in a Rabi clock interferometer. The method is well suited for current state-of-the-art optical lattice clocks with QND measurement capabilities. The protocol exploits the correlations between multiple nondestructive measurements of the initially prepared coherent spin state. A suitable Gaussian estimator for the clock laser detuning is presented, and an analytic expression for the sensitivity of the protocol is derived. We use this analytic expression to optimize the protocol using available experimental parameters, achieving an improvement of 7.9dB with respect to the standard quantum limit in terms of clock stability. We also discuss the measurement back-action effects of our protocol into the atomic state.
