Just out in Nature Physics: Hong–Ou–Mandel interference with >10 indistinguishable atoms!
Single-atom resolution in a spinor BEC lets us detect genuine multipartite entanglement in Dicke states **and** achieve quantum-enhanced metrology approaching the Heisenberg limit — all with negligible loss.
Wonderful explainer here:

If you’re at the #QuantumShowcase22 come and talk to us about our plans to study fundamental physics with #AtomInterferometry!
You can even have a go cooling and launching atom clouds in our game (developed by @drbentine) 🎮

Interesting interview with AION PhD student @pasatembou from @imperialcollege about her inspiration, experiences as a woman in physics and work on #AtomInterferometry!
It’s week 4 of #WomenOnWednesdays and this week we spoke to Elizabeth Pasatembou, PhD student in the High Energy physics group! Thank you for your time Elizabeth! ❤️ (1/2)

Mike (@Cambridge_Uni @DeptofPhysics) and Ollie (@unibirmingham @Physics_uniBham) have just returned from #YAO2022 where they presented our plans for fundamental physics detection using #AtomInterferometry.
They also ran into an old friend - former AION MPhil student Xintong Su!

Here in Cambridge we'll use this new funding to work with the narrow-linewidth clock transition of strontium, creating new ways to maximise the sensitivity of #AtomInterferometry for sensing tiny signals like #DarkMatter and #GravitationalWaves.
@DeptofPhysics @Cambridge_Uni
We’re excited for this opportunity to improve the sensitivity of the next generation of fundamental physics detectors! @UKRI_News @EPSRC @STFC_Matters
We’ll study velocity selection and differential interferometry using the strontium clock transition.
