Quantum physics has come a long way since its inception 120 years ago to the application of quantum effects in day-to-day life in the form of quantum technologies that are emerging rapidly across multiple fields. What began as a powerful theory on nature that describes the properties of particles, atoms led to a deep understanding of matter, energy, and their behavior at various scales. Over the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift with the development of the ability to control individual quantum systems. Applicable quantum technologies ranging from quantum computers, sensors, and encryption tools incorporating individual quantum systems have come to the force. Quantum resources like entanglement, superposition, and coherence can be used to attain unprecedented accuracies that are not achievable using classical methods and comparable resources. Pushing the boundaries of measurement precision is not only interesting in its own right but also fundamental to discovering new scienc...
