Title: Feasibility analysis of a proposed test of quantum gravity via novel optical magnetometry in xenon
Authors: James Maldaner, Mitja Fridman, Saurya Das, Gil Porat
Abstract summary: We present an analysis of the sensitivity limits of a proposed experimental search for quantum gravity. We use an approach based on optical magnetometry in the noble gas isotope $129$Xe. We show that the existing bounds on the leading-order quantum gravity correction can be improved by $107$ with existing technology.

Abstract: We present an analysis of the sensitivity limits of a proposed experimental search for quantum gravity, using a novel approach based on optical magnetometry in the noble gas isotope $^{129}$Xe. The analysis relies on a general uncertainty principle model that is consistent with most formulations of quantum gravity theory, where the canonical uncertainty relations are modified by a leading-order correction term that is linear in momentum. In turn, this correction modifies the magnetic moment of the spin-polarized $^{129}$Xe atoms that are immersed in a magnetic field in the proposed experiment, which results in a velocity-dependent variation of their Larmour frequency, that is detected via two-photon laser spectroscopy. The thermal distribution of atomic velocities, in conjunction with the Doppler effect, is used to scan the interrogating laser over different atomic velocities, and search for a corresponding variation in their Larmor frequencies. We show that the existing bounds on the leading-order quantum gravity correction can be improved by $10^{7}$ with existing technology, where another factor of $10^{2}$ is possible with near-future technical capabilities.

Electron Beam Characterization via Quantum Coherent Optical Magnetometry [31.936803957121775]
We present a quantum optics-based detection method for determining the position and current of an electron beam. By measuring the polarization rotation angle across the laser beam, we recreate a 2D projection of the magnetic field and use it to determine the e-beam position, size and total current. This technique offers a unique platform for non-invasive characterization of charged particle beams used in accelerators for particle and nuclear physics research.

We experimentally demonstrate a spectroscopic super-resolution method aimed at broadband light (10s to 100s of GHz) We study the paradigmatic problem of estimating a small separation between two incoherent spectral features of equal brightness, with a small number of photons per coherence time. The setup is based on an actively stabilized Mach-Zehnder-type interferometer with electro-optic time lenses and passive spectral dispersers implementing the inversion.

We study theoretically the implementation of qubits and clock transitions in the spin, rotational, and vibrational degrees of freedom of molecular ions. We identify two types of magnetically insensitive qubits with very low ("stretched"-state qubits) or even zero ("magic" magnetic-field qubits) linear Zeeman shifts. We explore possibilities to coherently control the nuclear-spin configuration of N$+$ through the magnetically enhanced mixing of nuclear-spin states.
