Single atoms and molecules can be trapped in tightly focused beams of light that form
'optical tweezers', affording exquisite capabilities for the control and detection of individual …

“Quantum sensing” describes the use of a quantum system, quantum properties, or quantum
phenomena to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. Historical examples of …

Many-particle entanglement is a key resource for achieving the fundamental precision limits
of a quantum sensor. Optical atomic clocks, the current state of the art in frequency precision …

We report an optical lattice clock with a total systematic uncertainty of 8.1× 10-19 in fractional
frequency units, representing the lowest uncertainty of any clock to date. The clock relies on …

Neutral-atom arrays trapped in optical potentials are a powerful platform for studying
quantum physics, combining precise single-particle control and detection with a range of …

Assembling and maintaining large arrays of individually addressable atoms is a key
requirement for continued scaling of neutral-atom-based quantum computers and …

Optical atomic clocks require local oscillators with exceptional optical coherence owing to
the challenge of performing spectroscopy on their ultranarrow-linewidth clock transitions …

The preparation of large, low-entropy, highly coherent ensembles of identical quantum
