The detection of orbiting exoplanets by way of astrometric monitoring of the host star to reveal gravitationally induced reflex motion requires extreme precision and measurement stability when targeting Earth-mass objects. Despite this, astrometry is widely regarded as the most promising avenue for the most desired of...

NASA is embarking on an ambitious program to develop the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) flagship to perform transformational astrophysics, as well as directly image ∼25 potentially Earth-like planets and spectroscopically characterize them for signs of life. This mission was recommended by the Astro2020 decadal sur...

The Giant Magellan Adaptive Optics eXtreme (GMagAO-X) instrument has now been selected as an official part of the Giant Magellan Telescope’s (GMT) instrument suite. The instrument will be ready at first-light of the GMT in the mid 2030s. The instrument is now progressing towards its final design with a final design rev...

Spatial Mode Demultiplexers (SPADE) are devices that split an incoming wavefront into a particular set of electric field modes. SPADEs have been shown to be quantum-optimal for many measurement problems including coronagraphy, wavefront sensing and interferometric (nulling) beam combiners. We will show how quantum opti...
