Precision Quantum Sensors for New Physics

Coordinators: Roni Harnik, Shimon Kolkowitz, Noah Kurinsky, and Ken Van Tilburg

This conference will showcase current experimental capabilities and recent breakthroughs in quantum sensing for fundamental physics. Its format is designed to maximize participation by experimentalists by highlighting the experimental state of the art in quantum-limited/enhanced searches for new physics, using optical, molecular, atomic, and nuclear platforms, macroscopic resonators based on acoustic, optomechanical, or electromagnetic modes, and other metrological or interferometric techniques. Talks will assess near-term discovery potential across beyond-Standard-Model scenarios and chart a roadmap for next-generation experiments. A complementary set of theory talks will provide phenomenological context, motivate physics targets, and identify the most promising directions for quantum-enabled experimental advances. By drawing together experimentalists from the dark matter, axion, EDM, and AMO communities alongside theorists, the conference aims to surface concrete experimental opportunities, foster cross-platform connections, and inform priorities for the field's next decade.
