- Abstract: We describe a finite fields magnetic gradiometer using an intense pulsed
laser to polarize a $^{87}$Rb atomic ensemble and a compact VCSEL probe laser
to detect paramagnetic Faraday rotation in a single multipass cell. We report
differential magnetic sensitivity of $14$ fT/Hz$^{1/2}$ over a broad dynamic
range including Earth's field magnitude and common-mode rejection ratio higher
than $10^4$. We also observe a nearly quantum-noise-limited behaviour of the
gradiometer, by comparing the experimental standard deviation of the estimated
frequency difference against the Cram\'{e}r-Rao lower bound in the presence of
white photon shot-noise, atomic spin noise and atomic diffusion.

We present the first results from the Quantum Resolution-d Cryogenic Observatory for Dark matter Incident at Low Energy (QROCODILE)
The QROCODILE experiment uses a microwire-based superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) as a target and sensor for dark matter scattering and absorption.
We report new world-leading constraints on the interactions of sub-MeV dark matter particles with masses as low as 30 keV.

We present a new method for co-magnetometry between a single noble gas and alkali species.
While similar to well-known devices using self-compensation, our scheme introduces magnetic pulses that controllably perturb the noble gas.
These applied pulses allow our scheme to measure, rather than just suppress, the effect of magnetic noise.

We use this effect to measure a small average number of intracavity photons that are coherently or thermally driven.

We show at the example of a Gaussian laser beam that the proposed quantum-clock interferometers are stable against perturbations from varying optical fields.

A far-detuned probe laser undergoes a near-zero paramagnetic Faraday rotation due to the intrinsic subtraction of two contributions exceeding 3.5 rad from the highly-polarized ensembles.
