- Abstract: We discuss the fundamental noise limitations of a ferromagnetic torque sensor
based on a levitated magnet in the tipping regime. We evaluate the optimal
magnetic field resolution taking into account the thermomechanical noise and
the mechanical detection noise at the standard quantum limit (SQL). We find
that the Energy Resolution Limit (ERL), pointed out in recent literature as a
relevant benchmark for most classes of magnetometers, can be surpassed by many
orders of magnitude. Moreover, similarly to the case of a ferromagnetic
gyroscope, it is also possible to surpass the standard quantum limit for
magnetometry with independent spins, arising from spin-projection noise. Our
finding indicates that magnetomechanical systems optimized for magnetometry can
achieve a magnetic field resolution per unit volume several orders of magnitude
better than any conventional magnetometer. We discuss possible implications,
focusing on fundamental physics problems such as the search for exotic
interactions beyond the standard model.

- Is animal magnetoreception quantum? A perspective from the energy resolution limit [0.0]
A large number of magnetic sensors, like superconducting quantum interference devices, were shown to satisfy the energy resolution limit.
This limit states that the magnetic sensitivity of the sensor, when translated into a product of energy with time, is bounded below by Planck's constant.
Here we explore biological magnetometers, in particular three magnetoreception mechanisms thought to underly animals' geomagnetic field sensing.

We investigate the coherent spin dynamics of a hetero-spin system formed by a spin S=1 featuring a non-zero crystal field.
We show that the zero-quantum coherences we create between them can be remarkably long-lived.
These spin dyads could be exploited as nanoscale gradiometers for precision magnetometry or as probes for magnetic-noise-free electrometry and thermal sensing.

We observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism (alpha-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism (beta-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism (gamma-Fe3O4)
The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.
