Mechanical systems can be influenced by a wide variety of small forces, ranging from gravitational to optical, electrical, and magnetic. When mechanical resonators are scaled down nanometer-scale dimensions, these forces harnessed enable coupling individual quantum systems.

We propose a space-based gravitational wave detector consisting of two spatially separated, drag-free satellites sharing ultra-stable optical laser light over single baseline. Each satellite contains an lattice atomic clock, which serves as sensitive, narrowband the local frequency shared light. A synchronized two-clock comparison between will be sensitive to effective Doppler shifts induced by incident waves (GWs) at level competitive with other proposed GW detectors, while providing...

Executing quantum algorithms on error-corrected logical qubits is a critical step for scalable computing, but the requisite numbers of and physical error rates are demanding current experimental hardware. Recently, development correcting codes tailored to particular noise models has helped relax these requirements. In this work, we propose qubit encoding gate protocol 171Yb neutral atom that converts dominant errors into erasures, is, in known locations. The key idea encode metastable...

Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a clock at higher gravitational potential will tick faster than an otherwise identical lower potential, effect known as the redshift. Here we perform laboratory-based, blinded test redshift using differential comparisons within evenly spaced array 5 atomic ensembles spanning height difference 1 cm.

The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative advances quantum technologies have led to a plethora high-precision sensors and strategies for ultralight ($<10\,$eV) bosonic that can be described by an oscillating classical, largely coherent field. This white paper focuses on searches wavelike scalar vector candidates.

Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are atom-scale defects with long spin coherence times that can be used to sense magnetic fields high sensitivity and spatial resolution. Typically, the field projection at a single point is measured by averaging many sequential measurements NV center, or distribution reconstructed taking average over an ensemble of centers. In single-NV center experiments, both techniques discard information. Here we propose implement new sensing modality, whereby two...

We present a concept for high-precision optical atomic clock (OAC) operating on an Earth-orbiting space station. This pathfinder science mission will compare the space-based OAC with one or more ultra-stable terrestrial OACs to search space-time-dependent signatures of dark scalar fields that manifest as anomalies in relative frequencies station-based and ground-based clocks. opens possibility probing models new physics are inaccessible purely experiments where field may potentially be...

Spin-lattice relaxation within the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center's electronic ground-state spin triplet limits its coherence times, and thereby impacts performance in quantum applications. We report measurements of rates on NV |m_{s}=0⟩↔|m_{s}=±1⟩ |m_{s}=-1⟩↔|m_{s}=+1⟩ transitions as a function temperature from 9 to 474 K high-purity samples. show that dependencies are reproduced by an ab initio theory Raman scattering due second-order spin-phonon interactions, we discuss applicability other...

The dominant noise in an ``erasure qubit'' is erasure---a type of error whose occurrence and location can be detected. Erasure qubits have potential to reduce the overhead associated with fault tolerance. To date, research on erasure has primarily focused quantum computing networking applications. Here, we consider applicability sensing metrology. We show theoretically that, for same level noise, qubit acts as a more precise sensor or clock compared its nonerasure counterpart. experimentally...

The stability of an optical atomic clock is a critical figure merit for almost all applications. To this end, much research has focused on reducing instability by increasing the atom number, lengthening coherent interrogation times, and introducing entanglement to push beyond standard quantum limit. In work, we experimentally demonstrate alternative approach using phase estimation based individually controlled ensembles in strontium (Sr) lattice clock. We first joint Ramsey two spatially...
