  abstract = {<p>Optical lattice clocks provide a testbed for a wide range of science spanning from studies<br>of fundamental physics to probing novel many-body states. To improve clock precision,<br>probing increasingly many atoms for the longest coherence times affordable is necessary. In<br>this thesis, we summarize coherently interrogating atoms trapped in a three-dimensional<br>optical lattice via an ultrastable laser to understand and advance clock precision. With a<br>Fermi-degenerate gas of strontium atoms, we perform seconds long clock spectroscopy to<br>probe Fermi-Hubbard physics and thus understand the effects of superexchange interactions<br>on our coherence time. Along with advancing clock metrology, this work provides a groundwork<br>for using optical lattice clocks to probe quantum magnetism and spin entanglement.</p>},
