• Abstract: We propose a method to measure time-reversal symmetry violation in molecules that overcomes the standard quantum limit while leveraging decoherence-free subspaces to mitigate sensitivity to classical noise. The protocol does not require an external electric field, and the entangled states have no first-order sensitivity to static electromagnetic fields as they involve superpositions with zero average lab-frame projection of spins and dipoles. This protocol can be applied with trapped neutral or ionic species, and can be implemented using methods which have been demonstrated experimentally.

  In quantum metrology, entanglement represents a valuable resource that can be used to overcome the Standard Quantum Limit () that bounds the precision of sensors that operate with independent particles. We implement an effective time-reversal protocol through a controlled sign change in an optically engineered many-body Hamiltonian. Using a system of 350 neutral $171$Yb atoms, this signal amplification through time-reversed interaction protocol achieves the largest sensitivity improvement beyond the Standard Quantum Limit.
