• Abstract: Matter-wave interferometers with micro-particles will enable the next generation of quantum sensors to probe minute quantum phase information. Therefore, estimating the loss of coherence and the degree of entanglement degradation for such interferometers is essential. In this paper, we will provide a noise analysis in frequency-space focusing on electromagnetic sources of dephasing. We will assume that our matter-wave interferometer has a residual charge or dipole which can interact with a neighbouring particle in the ambience. We will investigate the dephasing due to the Coulomb, charge-induced dipole, charge-permanent dipole, and dipole-dipole interactions. All these interactions constitute electromagnetically driven dephasing channels that can affect single or multiple interferometers. As an example, we will apply the obtained formulae to situations with two adjacent micro-particles, which can provide insight for the noise analysis in the quantum gravity-induced entanglement of masses (QGEM) protocol and the C-NOT gate: we will compute the dephasing due to a gas of environmental particles interacting via dipole-dipole and charge-charge couplings, respectively. To obtain simple analytical dephasing formulae, we will employ uniform probability distributions for the impact parameter and for the angles characterizing the relative orientation with respect to the interferometer and a Gaussian distribution for the velocities of the environmental particles. In both cases, we will show that the dephasing rate grows with the number density of particles present in the vacuum chamber, as expected.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

We will consider a parallel configuration of the QGEM experiment, where we will estimate the EM-induced dephasing rate, run-by-run systematic errors which will induce dephasing, and also provide constraints on the size of the superposition.

  We propose an electrodynamic Aharonov-Bohm scheme where a nonzero AB phase difference appears even if the interferometer paths do not enclose a magnetic flux. In the proposal, the current in a solenoid outside the interferometer varies in time while the quantum particle is in a superposition state inside two Faraday cages.

  We discuss the coherent splitting and recombining of a nanoparticles in a mesoscopic Stern-Gerlach interferometer. We calculate the internal decoherence which arises as the displaced impurity excites internal degrees of freedom. We find that for a wide range of masses, forces and temperatures, phonons do not inhibit Stern-Gerlach interferometry with micro-scale objects.

  We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.
