• Abstract summary: We present a gravimeter based on Bose-Einstein condensates with a sensitivity of $-1.7+0.4_-0.5,$dB beyond the standard quantum limit. Interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates combined with delta-collimation minimizes atom loss in and improves scalability of the interferometer to very-long baseline atom interferometers.

• Abstract: Interferometers based on ultra-cold atoms enable an absolute measurement of inertial forces with unprecedented precision. However, their resolution is fundamentally restricted by quantum fluctuations. Improved resolutions with entangled or squeezed atoms were demonstrated in internal-state measurements for thermal and quantum-degenerate atoms and, recently, for momentum-state interferometers with laser-cooled atoms. Here, we present a gravimeter based on Bose-Einstein condensates with a sensitivity of $-1.7^{+0.4}_{-0.5}\,$dB beyond the standard quantum limit. Interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates combined with delta-kick collimation minimizes atom loss in and improves scalability of the interferometer to very-long baseline atom interferometers.

  We present the first realisation of a microwave-driven entangling gate between two molecules. We show that the magic-wavelength trap preserves the entanglement, with no measurable decay over 0.5 s. The extension of precise quantum control to complex molecular systems will allow their additional degrees of freedom to be exploited across many domains of quantum science.

  We propose an intermediate-scale differential atom interferometer to measure the photon-recoil of neutral atomic species with a single-photon optical clock transition. For Sr and Yb, we find an atom interferometer of height 3m to be sufficient for an absolute mass measurement precision of $Delta m / m sim 1times 10-11$ with current technology.

  NASA's Cold Atom Lab operates onboard the International Space Station as a multi-user facility for studies of ultracold atoms. Atom interferometers are a class of quantum sensors which can use freely falling gases of atoms cooled to sub-photon-recoil temperatures. A three-pulse Mach-Zehnder interferometer was studied to understand limitations from the influence of ISS vibrations. Ramsey shear-wave interferometry was used to manifest interference patterns in a single run that were observable for over 150 ms free-expansion time.

  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 offer an interferometric procedure for phase parameters estimation at the Heisenberg (up to 1/N) and super-Heisenberg scaling levels. The heart of our setup is the novel soliton Josephson Junction (SJJ) system providing the formation of the quantum probe. We illustrate that such states are close to the optimal ones even with moderate losses.

  All optical materials with a positive refractive index have a value of index that is of order unity. Despite the giant response of an isolated atom, we find that the maximum index does not indefinitely grow with increasing density. We propose an explanation based upon strong-disorder renormalization group theory.
