Authors: Bahram Mashhoon, Yuri N. Obukhov,
Abstract summary: We discuss the coupling of photon spin with rotation in connection with a recent proposal of a precision gyroscope based on the intrinsic spin of light. We analyze the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a physical system that uniformly rotates about the direction of wave propagation in the presence of an ambient medium.

Abstract: We discuss the coupling of photon spin with rotation in connection with a recent proposal of Fedderke et al. [arXiv:2406.16178 [physics.optics]] regarding a precision gyroscope based on the intrinsic spin of light. To this end, we analyze the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a physical system that uniformly rotates about the direction of wave propagation in the presence of an ambient medium. Finally, we consider the possibility of using this type of spin-of-light gyroscope to measure gravitomagnetic fields.

Hyperfine-enhanced gyroscope based on solid-state spins [6.130998208629276]
Solid-state platforms based on electro-nuclear spin systems are attractive candidates for rotation sensing. We propose a gyroscope protocol based on a two-spin system that includes a spin intrinsically tied to the host material. Our result enables precise measurement of slow rotations and exploration of fundamental physics.

Creation and dynamics of spin fluctuations in a noisy magnetic field [0.0]
We investigate the spin fluctuations induced in a thermal atomic ensemble by an external fluctuating uniaxial magnetic field. We show that additional spin noise is excited, which dramatically depends on the magnetic noise variance and bandwidth. We develop an analytical perturbative model proving that this spin noise first emerges from the residual optical pumping in the medium.

Controlled excitation of rotons in superfluid helium with an optical centrifuge [77.34726150561087]
We show that the orientation of the angular momentum transferred from the laser field to the rotons, is dictated by the centrifuge. The observed decay of the coherent Raman signal suggests that the decoherence is governed by the scattering on thermal rotons and phonons.

Probing dynamics of a two-dimensional dipolar spin ensemble using single qubit sensor [62.997667081978825]
We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

Measuring the magnon-photon coupling in shaped ferromagnets: tuning of the resonance frequency [50.591267188664666]
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.

All-optical noise spectroscopy of a solid-state spin [0.0]
Noise spectroscopy elucidates the fundamental noise sources in spin systems. Existing techniques for noise spectroscopy that rely on microwave fields become infeasible when the microwave power is too weak to generate Rabi rotations of the spin. Here, we demonstrate an alternative all-optical approach to performing noise spectroscopy.

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.
