• Abstract: Magneto-optical microscopies, including optical measurements of magnetic circular dichroism, are increasingly ubiquitous tools for probing spin-orbit coupling, charge-carrier g-factors, and chiral excitations in matter, but the minimum detectable signal in classical magnetic circular dichroism measurements is fundamentally limited by the shot-noise limit of the optical readout field. Here, we use a two-mode squeezed light source to improve the minimum detectable signal in magnetic circular dichroism measurements by 3 dB compared with state-of-the-art classical measurements, even with relatively lossy samples like terbium gallium garnet. We also identify additional opportunities for improvement in quantum-enhanced magneto-optical microscopies, and we demonstrate the importance of these approaches for environmentally sensitive materials and for low temperature measurements where increased optical power can introduce unacceptable thermal perturbations.

  We present an all-optical method to measure and compensate for residual magnetic fields present in a cloud of ultracold atoms. Our approach leverages the increased loss from the trapped atomic sample through electromagnetically induced absorption. Modulating the excitation laser provides coherent sidebands, resulting in Lambda-type pump-probe scheme.

  Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors. We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing. Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.

  The Lamb shift of a quantum emitter very close to a plasmonic nanostructure can be three or more orders of magnitude larger than that in the free space. We propose an optical localization and polarization microscopy scheme with sub-nanometer precision for a quantum emitter via detecting the scattering spectrum instead of fluorescence.

  cavity photons and ferromagnetic spins excitations can exchange information coherently in hybrid architectures. Speed enhancement is usually achieved by optimizing the geometry of the electromagnetic cavity. We show that the geometry of the ferromagnet plays also an important role, by setting the fundamental frequency of the magnonic resonator.
