• Abstract: The existence of quantum gravity is the most important question in theoretical physics. Besides the theoretical development in this direction, looking for its low-energy consequences can provide clues. However, besides availability, it is crucial to ensure that what is observed uniquely comes from quantum gravity and not from other forces in the environment. What is the unique feature of gravity? The spin-$2$ nature of its propagator. In this Letter, we calculate what the unique feature of the spin-$2$ graviton is in the interaction of two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles. This unique feature shows itself in intertwining the spin and momentum of two particles simultaneously as a dipole-dipole interaction. This cannot happen for any spin-$0$ or spin-$1$ propagator, at least at leading order, which scales as $\frac{1}{r^3}$ in real space. We re-calculate the results using an independent approach, i.e., the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation, and reach the same results. Due to simultaneous coupling of both particles' spins and momenta, a four-partite entanglement framework is suggested to observe this effect.
