• Abstract summary: We take advantage of the weak coupling of ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce macroscopic quantum states. We perform a quantum non-demolition measurement of a transverse component of the polarized collective nuclear spin. We find a limit $propto(gamma_alpha/Gamma_rm sq)1/2$ on the conditional variance reached in a time.

• Abstract: We propose to take advantage of the weak coupling of ground-state helium-3 nuclear spin to its environment to produce long-lived macroscopic quantum states, nuclear spin squeezed states, in a gas cell at room temperature. To perform a quantum non-demolition measurement of a transverse component of the polarized collective nuclear spin, we maintain a population in helium-3 metastable state with a discharge. The collective spin associated to $F=1/2$ metastable level hybridizes with the ground state one by metastability exchange collisions. To access nuclear spin fluctuations, one continuously measures the light leaking out of an optical cavity, where it has interacted dispersively with the metastable state collective spin. In a three coupled collective spin model (nuclear, metastable and Stokes), we calculate moments of the nuclear spin squeezed component $I_z$ conditioned on the time averaged optical signal. In the photon counting scheme, the squeezed observable is $I_z^2$ rather than $I_z$. In the homodyne detection scheme, we solve the stochastic equation for the system state conditioned on the measurement; the conditional expectation value of $I_z$ depends linearly on the signal and the conditional variance of $I_z$ does not depend on it. The conditional variance decreases as $(\Gamma_{\rm sq}t)^{-1}$, where the squeezing rate $\Gamma_{\rm sq}$ depends linearly on the light intensity in the cavity at weak atom-field coupling and saturates at strong coupling to the ground state metastability exchange effective rate, proportional to the metastable atom density. Including de-excitation of metastable atoms at the walls, which induces nuclear spin decoherence with an effective rate $\gamma_\alpha$, we find a limit $\propto(\gamma_\alpha/\Gamma_{\rm sq})^{1/2}$ on the conditional variance reached in a time $\propto(\gamma_\alpha\Gamma_{\rm sq})^{-1/2}$.

  We compute the superradiant interaction rates for the Cosmic Neutrino Background (C$nu$B), dark matter scattering and absorption, and late-universe particles. We show that these superradiant interactions can manifest as a source of noise on the system. This points to new observables, sensitive to the sum of the excitation and de-excitation rates, and can be viewed as introducing diffusion and decoherence to the system.

  We explore the quantum dynamics of nuclear spin relaxation in cold collisions of $1Sigma+$ molecules with structureless atoms in an external magnetic field. We find that nuclear spin relaxation in the ground rotational manifold of CO occurs extremely slowly due to the absence of direct couplings between the nuclear spin sublevels. For some initial states, we also observe a strong magnetic field dependence, which can be understood using the first Born approximation.
