Measurement of Translational Diffusion Constant using Noon State

A method for measuring translational diffusion constant in liquids via NOON state is described using a quantum circuit and is experimentally demonstrated using a model system. When compared with the standard single quantum method, the NOON state method requirs shorter diffusion delays and weaker gradients. These improvements depend on the on the size of the NOON state. Due to the high sensitivity of the NOON state for the changes in the local magnetic fields, this method enables studying slow diffusion and studying diffusion with limited strengths of pulsed-field-gradients.
