text: 'Quantum entanglement has been generated and verified in cold-atom experiments
and used to make atom-interferometric measurements below the shot-noise limit.
However, current state-of-the-art cold-atom devices exploit separable (i.e., unentangled)
atomic states. This perspective piece asks the question: can entanglement usefully
improve cold-atom sensors, in the sense that it gives new sensing capabilities
unachievable with current state-of-the-art devices? We briefly review the state-of-the-art
in precision cold-atom sensing, focusing on clocks and inertial sensors, identifying
the potential benefits entanglement could bring to these devices, and the challenges
that need to be overcome to realize these benefits. We survey demonstrated methods
of generating metrologically useful entanglement in cold-atom systems, note their
relative strengths and weaknesses, and assess their prospects for near-to-medium
term quantum-enhanced cold-atom sensing.'
