الوصف: Quantum sensing is a fundamental building block of modern technology that employs quantum resources and creates new opportunities for precision measurements. However, previous methods usually have a common assumption that detection noise levels should be below the intrinsic sensitivity provided by quantum resources. Here we report the first demonstration of Fano resonance between coupled alkali-metal and noble gases through rapid spin-exchange collisions. The Fano resonance gives rise to two intriguing phenomena: spin amplification and deamplification, which serve as crucial resources for enhanced sensing. Further we develop a novel scheme of quantum sensing enhanced by amplification and deamplification, with relaxed requirements on the detection noise. The coupled systems of alkali-metal and noble gases act as amplifiers or de-amplifiers, enabling to extract small signals above the detection noise before final detection. We demonstrate magnetic-field measurement about 54 decibels below the photon-shot noise, which outperforms the state-of-the-art squeezed-light technology and realizes femtotesla-level sensitivity. Our work opens new avenues to applications in searches for ultralight dark matter with sensitivity well beyond the supernova-observation constraints.
