DESCRIPTION:Prof. Surjeet Rajendran\, Johns Hopkins\nThe search for new ph
 ysical laws and particles has largely been driven by the expectation that 
 the new physics lies at high energies with reasonably strong interactions 
 with the standard model. However\,  the existence of dark matter and dark
  energy as well as the potential new physics that could be discovered usin
 g gravitational waves suggests that there is a strong case to search for 
  phenomena that do not interact much with the standard model. The discove
 ry of such phenomena requires precision sensing. The remarkable advances t
 hat have occurred in the field of quantum metrology in the past three deca
 des has made it possible to deploy a wide variety of quantum sensors to de
 tect such ultra-weakly coupled physics. In this talk\, I will discuss a va
 riety of new experimental methods that can be used to detect gravitational
  waves in the 1 Hz frequency band between LIGO and LISA\, probe a wide var
 iety of  dark matter candidates as well as potentially probing the physic
 s of dark energy in the laboratory.
