• Abstract: Development of new techniques to search for particles beyond the standard model is crucial for understanding the ultraviolet completion of particle physics. Several hypothetical particles are predicted to mediate exotic spin-dependent interactions between particles of the standard model that may be accessible to laboratory experiments. However, laboratory searches are mostly conducted for static spin-dependent interactions, with only a few experiments so far addressing spin- and velocity-dependent interactions. Here, we demonstrate a search for exotic spin- and velocity-dependent interactions with a spin-based amplifier. Our technique makes use of hyperpolarized nuclear spins as a pre-amplifier to enhance the effect of pseudo-magnetic field produced by exotic interactions by an amplification factor of > 100. Using such a spin-based amplifier, we establish constraints on the spin- and velocity-dependent interactions between polarized and unpolarized nucleons in the force range of 0.03-100 m. Our limits represent at least two orders of magnitude improvement compared to previous experiments. The established technique can be further extended to investigate other exotic spin-dependent interactions.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

  We study the spin diffusion dynamics of 13C in diamond, which we dynamically polarize at room temperature via optical spin pumping of engineered color centers. We find good thermal contact throughout the nuclear spin bath, virtually independent of the hyperfine coupling strength.
