High-sensitivity charge detection using antisymmetric vibration in two coupled GaAs oscillators is demonstrated. The antisymmetric mode under in-phase simultaneous driving of the two oscillators disappears with perfect frequency tuning. The piezoelectric stress induced by a small gate-voltage modulation breaks the balance of the two oscillators, leading to the re-emergence of the antisymmetric mode. Measurement of the amplitude change enables detection of the applied voltage or, equivalently, added charges. In contrast to the frequency-shift detection using a single oscillator, our method allows a large readout up to the strongly driven nonlinear response regime, providing the high room-temperature sensitivity of 147 e/Hz(0.5).
