Lehnert's group develops quantum electromechanics and microwave-optical transduction, quantum-limited and squeezed microwave amplification (including TWPAs), and applies these tools to quantum networks and dark-matter searches, converting fragile quantum signals between microwave, mechanical, and optical domains. For context, this complements the established paradigm of NV-diamond ensemble magnetometry (Hahn-echo/DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) operating near pT/√Hz sensitivity.

Lewandowski's group studies cold molecular ions and cold ion-neutral chemistry in traps, using precision spectroscopy and controlled reaction dynamics to probe molecular structure and fundamental interactions (borderline inclusion: precision molecular AMO with a strong physics-education program).

Murnane (with Kapteyn) develops tabletop coherent EUV/soft-X-ray sources via high-harmonic generation and uses them for attosecond science and lensless coherent diffractive imaging (ptychography), achieving nanometer-scale, element-specific imaging of materials, nanostructures and dynamics. For context, this complements the established paradigm of NV-diamond ensemble magnetometry (Hahn-echo/DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) operating near pT/√Hz sensitivity.

Nesbitt's group combines high-resolution laser spectroscopy, chemical physics and single-molecule fluorescence/FRET microscopy to probe molecular structure, dynamics, and biophysics at the single-molecule limit, spanning gas-phase reaction dynamics to nanoscale biomolecular conformational sensing. For context, this complements the established paradigm of NV-diamond ensemble magnetometry (Hahn-echo/DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) operating near pT/√Hz sensitivity.
