• Abstract: Atom interferometers allow determining inertial effects to high accuracy. Quantum-projection noise as well as systematic effects impose demands on large atomic flux as well as ultra-low expansion rates. Here we report on a high-flux source of ultra-cold atoms with free expansion rates near the Heisenberg limit directly upon release from the trap. Our results are achieved in a time-averaged optical dipole trap and enabled through dynamic tuning of the atomic scattering length across two orders of magnitude interaction strength via magnetic Feshbach resonances. We demonstrate BECs with more than $6\times 10^{4}$ particles after evaporative cooling for $170$ ms and their subsequent release with a minimal expansion energy of $4.5$ nK in one direction. Based on our results we estimate the performance of an atom interferometer and compare our source system to a high performance chip-trap, as readily available for ultra-precise measurements in micro-gravity environments.

  Single photon emitters hosted in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are essential building blocks for quantum photonic technologies that operate at room temperature. We experimentally demonstrate large-area arrays of plasmonic nanoresonators for Purcell-induced site-controlled SPEs.

  Entanglement is a fundamental resource that allows quantum sensors to surpass the standard quantum limit set by the quantum collapse of independent atoms. Collective cavity-QED systems have succeeded in generating large amounts of directly observed entanglement involving the internal degrees of freedom of laser-cooled atomic ensembles. An entangled state is for the first time successfully injected into a Mach-Zehnder light-pulse interferometer with $1.7+0.5_-0.5$ dB of directly observed metrological enhancement.

  We use time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy to demonstrate the light-induced renormalization of the Hubbard $U$ in a cuprate superconductor. We show that intense femtosecond laser pulses induce a substantial redshift of the upper Hubbard band, while leaving the Zhang-Rice singlet energy unaffected. Our demonstration of a dynamical Hubbard $U$ renormalization in a copper oxide paves the way to a novel strategy for the manipulation of superconductivity, magnetism, as well as to the realization of other long-range-ordered phases in light-driven quantum materials.
