Quantum metrology makes use of coherent superpositions to detect weak signals. While in principle the sensitivity can be improved by increasing the density of sensing particles, in practice this improvement is severely hindered by…
Sensors based on crystal defects, especially nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres in nanodiamond, can achieve detection of single magnetic moments. Here we show that this exquisite control can be utilized to entangle remote electronic spins for…
Coupling nanocrystals (quantum dots) to a high-$Q$ whispering gallery mode (WGM) of a silica microsphere, can produce a strong coherent interaction between the WGM and the electronic states of the dots. Shifting the resonance frequencies of…
Finding a feasible scheme for testing the quantum mechanical nature of the gravitational interaction has been attracting an increasing level of attention. Gravity mediated entanglement generation so far appears to be the key ingredient for…
Microwave near-field quantum control of spin and motional degrees of freedom of 25Mg+ ions can be used to generate two-ion entanglement, as recently demonstrated in Ospelkaus et al. [Nature 476, 181 (2011)]. Here, we describe additional…
We present an analysis of magnetic traps for ultracold atoms based on current-carrying wires with sub-micron dimensions. We analyze the physical limitations of these conducting wires, as well as how such miniaturized magnetic traps are…
The scheme recently proposed in [M. Scala et al., Phys Rev Lett 111, 180403 (2013)], where a gravity-dependent phase shift is induced on the spin of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in a trapped nanodiamond by the interaction between its…
The highly controllable ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional (1D) trap provide a new platform for the ultimate simulation of quantum magnetism. In this regard, the Neel-antiferromagnetism and the itinerant ferromagnetism are of central…
Nanomagnetism concerns the engineering of magnetic interactions in heterostructures that consist of layers of magnetic and non-magnetic materials. Mostly, these interactions are dominated by the minimization of energy. Here, we propose an…
Remanent magnetization in geological samples may record the past intensity and direction of planetary magnetic fields. Traditionally, this magnetization is analyzed through measurements of the net magnetic moment of bulk millimeter to…
We propose a novel quantum sensing protocol that leverages the dynamical response of physical observables to quenches in quantum systems. Specifically, we use the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color center in diamond to realize both scalar and…
Recently, experiments aimed at measuring gravity mediated entanglement (GME) using quantum information techniques have been proposed, based on the assumption that if two systems get entangled through local interactions with gravitational…
Quantum computation (QC) and simulation rely on long-lived qubits with controllable interactions. Early work in quantum computing made use of molecules because of their readily available intramolecular nuclear spin coupling and chemical…
We investigate theoretically the entanglement of two quantum dots (QDs) coupled to metallic nanowaveguide in the presence of the flip-flop interaction with the analytical solutions of eigenvalue equations of the coupled system. High…
We propose a method for entangling two non-interacting qubits by measuring their parity indirectly through an intermediate mesoscopic system. The protocol is designed to require only global control and course-grained collective measurement…
Quantum entanglement is an essential resource for quantum science and technology. However, entanglement detection and quantification, via typical entanglement measures such as linear entanglement entropy or negativity, can be a very…
We performed measurements on a quantum dot and a capacitively coupled quantum point contact by using the sharp metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning force microscope as a scanned gate. The quantum point contact served as a detector for…
There is significant interest in potential experimental tests of macroscopic quantum effects, both to test potential modifications to quantum theory and to probe the quantum nature of gravity. A proposed platform with which to generate the…
A promising route to testing quantum gravity in the laboratory is to look for gravitationally-induced entanglement (GIE) between two or more quantum matter systems. Proposals for such tests have principally used microsolid systems, with…
Recently, there has been a proposal to test the quantum nature of gravity in the laboratory by witnessing the growth of entanglement between two masses in spatial quantum superpositions. The required superpositions can be created via…
