ABSTRACT: Major scientific discoveries are often enabled by new measurement capabilities that provide novel perspectives into complex physical problems. Recent advances and discoveries made on quantum materials have challenged experimentalists to come up with new ways to probe their intrinsic properties. In this talk Yacoby will discuss some of the recent work he has worked on to develop a variety of new local quantum sensing techniques and discuss how they can assist us in exploring quantum matter.
