“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 …

Quantum technology is an emergent and potentially disruptive discipline, with the ability to
affect many human activities. Quantum technologies are dual-use technologies, and as such …

Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence
of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter …

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) combined with a pump-probe femtosecond
terahertz (THz) laser can enable coherence measurements of single molecules. We report …

Nanoscale mechanical oscillators are used as ultrasensitive detectors of force, mass and
charge. Nanomechanical oscillators have also been coupled with optical and electronic …

Detection of the weakest forces in nature is aided by increasingly sensitive measurements of
the motion of mechanical oscillators. However, the attainable knowledge of an oscillator's …

Diamond has gained a reputation as a uniquely versatile material, yet one that is intricate to
grow and process. Resonating nanostructures made of single-crystal diamond are expected …

We propose a tunable resonant sensor to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range
of<? format?> 50–300 kHz using optically trapped and cooled dielectric microspheres or …
