Originating Calendar
Physics - Colloquium

I will review the connections of quantum field theory, the framework at the heart of particle physics, to modern quantum devices and opportunities to probe fundamental physics with a variety of quantum sensors. Some of the well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics involve the existence of new light particles that interact with photons. Quantum computing and sensing  platforms are well suited to explore them, and sensing protocols are being explored to realize quantum advantage.
