• Abstract: We theoretically investigate supercurrents of ultracold atoms in angularly ac-shaken ring lattices subjected to external rotation. Our results demonstrate how these supercurrents can be harnessed for the development of high-precision atomtronic angular accelerometers. Using both analytical and numerical approaches within the Bose-Hubbard model framework, we demonstrate that a significant net atomic current arises when the lattice driving frequency is tuned to an integer fraction of the Bloch frequency, while the current averages to nearly zero away from such a resonance. In the single-particle regime, the resonance width scales inversely with the averaging time, thereby setting a fundamental Fourier-limited bound on the measurement's sensitivity. Strikingly, our numerical simulations demonstrate that this Fourier limit - a fundamental barrier in the non-interacting system - can be surpassed by introducing weak interactions between atoms. In the interacting regime, the sensitivity surpasses the Fourier-limited scaling with the averaging time, achieving an improvement of at least two orders of magnitude over the single-particle scenario, and exceeding the performance of previously proposed ultracold-atom-based angular accelerometers. These findings pave the way for developing new atomic-current-based inertial sensors with interaction-enhanced sensitivity.

  A clock interferometer provides metrological improvement with respect to its technical-noise-limited counterpart employing a single internal quantum state. We infer a precision enhancement of 8.8 decibels when measuring a small difference between external fields. We estimate that tens of decibels of precision enhancement could be attained for measurements with a higher atom flux.
