Beschreibung
The extraordinary advances in quantum control of matter and light have been transformative for atomic and molecular precision measurements enabling probes of the most basic laws of Nature to gain a fundamental understanding of the physical Universe. Exceptional versatility, inventiveness, and rapid development of precision experiments supported by continuous technological advances and improved atomic and molecular theory led to rapid development of many avenues to explore new physics.
A wide range of quantum sensing technologies are rapidly being integrated into the experimental portfolio of the high energy physics community, including atomic and nuclear clocks, atomic interferometers, atom magnetometers, optical cavities, precision spectroscopic methods with atomic, nuclear, and molecular systems, trapped atoms and ions, etc. I will give a review of detection targets relevant to particle physics for which these systems are uniquely poised to contribute. In conclusion, I will describe new efforts in developing a roadmap for terrestrial very-long-baseline (km-scale) atom interferometry for gravitational wave and dark matter detection.
