Abstract: We study the effect of optical polarization squeezing on the performance of a sensitive, quantum-noise-limited optically pumped magnetometer. We use Bell-Bloom (BB) optical pumping to excite a $^{87}$Rb vapor containing $8.2 \cdot 10^{12} \mathrm{atoms/cm^3}$ and Faraday rotation to detect spin precession. The sub-$\mathrm{pT}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ sensitivity is limited by spin projection noise (photon shot noise) at low (high) frequencies. Probe polarization squeezing both improves high-frequency sensitivity and increases measurement bandwidth, with no loss of sensitivity at any frequency, a direct demonstration of the evasion of measurement backaction noise. We provide a model for the quantum noise dynamics of the BB magnetometer, including spin projection noise, probe polarization noise, and measurement backaction effects. The theory shows how polarization squeezing reduces optical noise, while measurement backaction due to the accompanying ellipticity anti-squeezing is shunted into the unmeasured spin component. The method is compatible with high-density and multi-pass techniques that reach extreme sensitivity.

Multiparameter quantum sensing and magnetic communications with a hybrid dc and rf optically pumped magnetometer [41.94295877935867]
We introduce and demonstrate a hybrid optically pumped magnetometer (HOPM) that simultaneously measures one dc field component and one RF field component quadrature. The HOPM achieves sub-pT/$sqrtmathrmHz$ sensitivity for both dc and RF fields, and is limited in sensitivity by spin projection noise at low frequencies and by photon shot noise at high frequencies.

bosonic ultralight (sub meV) dark matter is well motivated because it could couple to the Standard Model (SM) and induce new forces. Previous MICROSCOPE and Eot Wash torsion experiments have achieved high accuracy in the sub-1 Hz region.

A background-free optically levitated charge sensor [50.591267188664666]
We introduce a new technique to model and eliminate dipole moment interactions limiting the performance of sensors employing levitated objects. As a demonstration, this is applied to the search for unknown charges of a magnitude much below that of an electron. As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.

Investigation and comparison of measurement schemes in the low frequency biosensing regime using solid-state defect centers [58.720142291102135]
Solid state defects in diamond make promising quantum sensors with high sensitivity andtemporal resolution. Inhomogeneous broadening and drive amplitude variations have differing impacts on the sensitivity depending on the sensing scheme used. We numerically investigate and compare the predicted sensitivity of schemes based on continuous-wave (CW) optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) spectroscopy, pi-pulse ODMR and Ramsey interferometry.

High-Frequency Gravitational-Wave Detection Using a Chiral Resonant Mechanical Element and a Short Unstable Optical Cavity [59.66860395002946]
We suggest the measurement of the twist of a chiral mechanical element induced by a gravitational wave. The induced twist rotates a flat optical mirror on top of this chiral element, leading to the deflection of an incident laser beam. We estimate a gravitational wave strain sensitivity between 10-21/sqrtHz and 10-23/sqrtHz at around 10 kHz frequency.
