Meitner Distinguished Lecture:
"Engineering a quantum frontier for atomic clocks and fundamental
physics"
Jun Ye
(JILA,
National Institute of Standards and Technology and University of Colorado)
Abstract:
Quantum state engineering, many-body
physics, and laser technology are helping
to increase the size of coherent quantum
systems and revolutionize the performance
of atomic clocks and metrology. A quantum
gas of strontium atoms loaded into
arrays of optical traps represents such a
system that combines the best measurement
precision and accuracy. Recent advances
include precise engineering of a spin
Hamiltonian to achieve a record clock
accuracy, determination of the gravitational
time dilation across a few hundred
micrometers, and employment and verification of
spin entanglement for clock comparison.
These progresses in quantum metrology
provide new insights into dynamical phases
of matter, and raise the prospect of
using the next generation of clocks to
search for new physics beyond the minimal
standard model and probe the interface of
gravity and quantum mechanics.
The Lise Meitner Distinguished Lecture is
sponsored by Royal Swedish Academy
of Sciences through its Nobel Committee
for Physics.
