• Abstract: In most quantum sensing schemes, interactions between the constituent particles of the sensor are expected to lead to thermalisation and degraded sensitivity. However, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that the phenomenon of quantum many-body scarring can slow down, or even prevent thermalisation. We show that scarring can be exploited for quantum sensing that is robust against certain strong interactions. In the ideal case of perfect scars with harmonic energy gaps, the optimal sensing time can diverge despite the strong interactions. We demonstrate the idea with two examples: a spin-1 model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and a spin-1/2 mixed-field Ising model. We also briefly discuss some non-ideal perturbations, and the addition of periodic controls to suppress their effect on sensing.

  We study a series of unconventional light-matter interactions between quantum emitters and the Hatano--Nelson model. We find that the protection from dissipation arises from a cooperation of the non-Hermiticity and the self-interference effect. These results have potential applications in engineering exotic spin Hamiltonians and quantum networks.

We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

  We show how access to weaker dephasing mechanisms can be obtained for optically active qubits by performing two-photon coincidence measurements. We focus on the typically dominant deformation-potential coupling to longitudinal acoustic phonons. Surprisingly, the impact of the strongly coupled phonon environment is weak and leads to long-lived coherences.

  Quantum interference can terminate energy growth in a continually kicked system, via a single-particle ergodicity-breaking mechanism known as dynamical localization. We report the experimental realization of a tunably-interacting kicked quantum rotor ensemble using a Bose-Einstein condensate in a pulsed optical lattice. Results quantitatively elucidate the dynamical transition to many-body quantum chaos, advance our understanding of quantum anomalous diffusion, and delimit some possibilities for protecting quantum information in interacting systems.
