Session 1

Although the local precision limits of thermal equilibrium metrology are well established, the potential to enhance precision by driving a system into nonequilibrium remains largely unexplored. We first demonstrate that the precision limit of thermal equilibrium metrology can be surpassed by applying a unitary drive to the initial thermal equilibrium state. Our central result is to establish...

Session 1

I will discuss experimental aspects of new physics searches with cold atoms. The focus will be on Rydberg states of cold hydrogen and deuterium atoms and their application to searches for additional ``fifth forces’’ [1,2]. In particular, I will explore the experimental challenge of realizing cold, trapped samples of hydrogen and deuterium [3,4] and some possible solutions. I will also...
