• Abstract: The generation of macroscopic quantum states can drive both fundamental physics and quantum technologies. This work proposes a top-down approach to the generation of macroscopic spin GHZ states using a levitated ferromagnet, where a strong locking between the collective spin and the lattice rotation enables mechanical control of the collective spin. We quantify the metrological advantage of the resulting macrospin superposition state by showing that Heisenberg scaling of the quantum Fisher information is achievable. Roles of symmetry and geometry are analyzed in terms of decoherence due to gas collisions, identifying accessible conditions for experimental realization. The usefulness of a macrospin superposition state of a levitated cylindrical ferromagnet in testing spin-dependent wavefunction collapse models is also discussed.

• Scalable spin squeezing in two-dimensional arrays of dipolar large-$S$ spins [0.0]
  We show that spin-spin interactions lead to scalable spin squeezing along the non-equilibrium unitary evolution in a coherent spin state. For sufficiently small quadratic shifts, the spin squeezing dynamics is akin to that produced by the paradigmatic one-axis-twisting (OAT) model. Spin squeezing with OAT-like scaling is shown to be protected by the robustness of long-range ferromagnetic order to quadratic shifts.

  We study the physics of a magnetic molecule described by a "giant" spin with multiple $d > 2$ spin states. We derive an expression for the output modes in the dispersive regime of operation.

  Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial sensing. We demonstrate optical nuclear spin polarization and rapid quantum control of nuclear spins in a diamond physically rotating at $1,$kHz, faster than the nuclear spin coherence time. Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
