Searches for New Physics with Quantum Sensors in the Laboratory and in Space

The development of atomic clocks with systematic uncertainties in the 10-18 range enables searches for the variation of fundamental constants, dark matter, and violations of Lorentz invariance. I will give an overview of dark matter searches and other fundamental physics studies with atomic and nuclear clocks and focus on development of clocks with the highest sensitivities to new physics. I will discuss recent advances in theory of novel clocks based on highly-charged ions and efforts to develop a nuclear clock. Recent ideas on dark matter searches and test of general relativity with clocks in space will be discussed. I will also report a release of the new version of an online portal for high-precision atomic data and computation. Future plans to add data for more systems as well as to release computer codes are discussed.
