We propose a physics-informed neural particle method (PINN-PM) for the spatially homogeneous Landau equation. The method adopts a Lagrangian interacting-particle formulation and jointly parameterizes the time-dependent score and the characteristic flow map with neural networks. Instead of advancing particles through explicit time stepping, the Landau dynamics is enforced via a continuous-time residual defined along particle trajectories, yielding a mesh-free solver that can be queried at arbitrary times. We establish a deterministic, global-in-time stability analysis in an $L^2_v$ framework. The deviation between learned and exact characteristics is controlled by three interpretable sources: the score approximation error, the particle approximation error, and the physics residual of the neural flow. This trajectory estimate is then lifted to Wasserstein stability and density reconstruction error via kernel density estimation, resulting in a complete error propagation chain from particle dynamics to macroscopic quantities. At the oracle level, the score error is characterized through the implicit score matching functional via Hyv\"arinen's identity. In practice, the empirical ISM objective provides a computable surrogate for monitoring score accuracy during training. Numerical experiments on analytical benchmarks, including the two- and three-dimensional BKW solutions, as well as reference-free configurations, demonstrate stable transport, preservation of macroscopic invariants, and competitive or improved accuracy compared with time-stepping particle methods while using significantly fewer particles.

Quantum metrology based on solid-state color centers has advanced significantly through the development of robust sensing protocols, including Ramsey interferometry, Hahn echo, and dynamical decoupling sequences. Color center qubits are particularly promising platforms for quantum sensing due to their ability to operate under a wide range of conditions, from vacuum to ambient environments and from cryogenic to room temperatures, depending on the application. In this talk, I will introduce the fundamental principles of quantum metrology using solid-state color centers, with a particular focus on defect qubits in diamond. I will then discuss recent efforts to achieve quantum-enhanced sensing by exploiting quantum correlations among defect qubits. Finally, I will highlight emerging applications of color center qubits in particle physics, including the search for axion dark matter, and present ongoing experimental efforts in this direction.
