Summary

Continuous quantum measurement of atomic spins using Faraday rotation is limited by probe light shifts. Removing this nonlinearity enables longer, nonperturbing measurements for quantum state estimation and studying quantum chaos.

    • Probe light shift introduces nonlinearity, restricting the useful Faraday measurement window.
    • Removing the nonlinearity allows for nonperturbing measurements on longer timescales.
    • The nonlinear spin Hamiltonian is identified as relevant for quantum chaos and state estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • Nonlinearity from probe light shift is a significant limitation in Faraday rotation measurements.
    • Mitigating this nonlinearity extends the applicability of weak quantum measurements.
    • The nonlinear spin Hamiltonian offers new avenues for quantum chaos research and real-time quantum state estimation.
