Emerging Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Quantum Sensor Technologies for Probing High Energy Physics

Emerging advances in quantum sensors based on atomic, molecular, and optical platforms offer the potential to contribute to multiple areas at the forefront of high energy physics. Key developments include the extension of quantum coherence and quantum control to new systems and to unprecedented scales in mass, space, and time; new techniques for achieving precision beyond the standard quantum limit; and networks of many quantum sensors. In this talk, I will present an overview of these developments and discuss some of their potential impacts on high energy physics. Specifically, I will describe efforts to apply quantum sensors to searches for the QCD axion and for general wavelike dark matter, to gravitational wave detection in currently unexplored frequency ranges which are promising for probing the high energy scales of the early universe, and to precise tests of the standard model.
