However, the complexity of their interactions generally prevents us from coming up with an exact mathematical description of their behavior. Precisely engineered ultracold gases are emerging as a powerful tool for unraveling these challenging physical problems. In this talk, I will present recent developments at JILA on using alkaline-earth atoms (AEAs) --currently the basis of the most precise atomic clock in the world-- for the investigation of complex many-body phenomena and magnetism. Specifically, I will discuss ideas on how to use AEAs dressed by laser fields as a tool to engineer useful entangled states. The proposed schemes open a window to enhance clock sensitivity beyond what is possible with uncorrelated atoms, and set a foundation for future quantum computers.   Link to talk:  https://osu.app.box.com/file/746000861695         Zoom webinar Department of Physics physics@osu.edu America/New_York public
