Rotation sensing with trapped ions
read the original abstract
We present a protocol for using trapped ions to measure rotations via matter-wave Sagnac interferometry. The trap allows the interferometer to enclose a large area in a compact apparatus through repeated round-trips in a Sagnac geometry. We show how a uniform magnetic field can be used to close the interferometer over a large dynamic range in rotation speed and measurement bandwidth without losing contrast. Since this technique does not require the ions to be confined in the Lamb-Dicke regime, thermal states with many phonons should be sufficient for operation.

Ultralight dark matter detection with trapped-ion interferometry
A trapped ion in a spin-motion entangled state can detect kinetically mixed dark photon dark matter in the 10^{-15} to 10^{-14} eV mass range through Aharonov-Bohm phase shifts with parametrically enhanced sensitivity.

Gravitational radiation, vorticity and super-energy: A conspicuous threesome
The paper identifies a relationship between gravitational radiation, vorticity and super-energy flux, proposing vorticity detection via gyroscopes and similar devices as an alternative method to observe gravitational waves.
