“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 …

Understanding quantum dynamics away from equilibrium is an outstanding challenge in the
modern physical sciences. Out-of-equilibrium systems can display a rich variety of …

Sensitive probing of temperature variations on nanometre scales is an outstanding
challenge in many areas of modern science and technology. In particular, a thermometer …

Solid-state spin systems such as nitrogen-vacancy colour centres in diamond are promising

We introduce a new approach for the robust control of quantum dynamics of strongly
interacting many-body systems. Our approach involves the design of periodic global control …

We study experimentally the fundamental limits of sensitivity of an atomic radio-frequency
magnetometer. First, we apply an optimal sequence of state preparation, evolution, and the …

In quantum sensing, precision is typically limited by the maximum time interval over which
phase can be accumulated. Memories have been used to enhance this time interval beyond …

Characterizing the local internal environment surrounding solid-state spin defects is crucial
to harnessing them as nanoscale sensors of external fields. This is especially germane to …
