Metrology of noise, time, and entanglement through chaos and atomic engineering

The combined versatility and controllability of atom arrays has revealed new horizons in quantum science. Here I will describe our explorations of this dynamic frontier, in particular focusing on how atoms bridge the divide between quantum metrology, computation, and simulation. Through a series of vignettes, I will illustrate the unique capabilities of atoms to realize: novel error mitigation and information encoding schemes that can recast atomic motion from an error to resource; classically-challenging analog simulations which uncover universal features of quantum randomness; and hybridized clock-processors to exponentially improve sensing. In total, my goal is to emphasize the synergies that atom arrays enable, and highlight how creativity in atomic physics and quantum engineering can expand the boundaries of both.
