Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics and Astronomy | Hunter Lab @ Amherst
Summary:

Hunter uses atomic and comagnetometry techniques for precision tests of fundamental symmetries, including searches for spin-dependent exotic interactions and permanent electric dipole moments. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Jackson Kimball Lab @ CSUEB
Summary:

Jackson Kimball uses atomic magnetometry (including SERF and nonlinear magneto-optical rotation) for tests of fundamental symmetries and ultralight dark-matter searches; he co-leads GNOME and contributes SERF magnetometry to CASPEr. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Twinleaf LLC | Twinleaf @ Twinleaf
Summary:

Kornack (from Romalis's Princeton group) founded Twinleaf, which builds atomic magnetometers, alkali-noble-gas SERF comagnetometers and low-noise magnetic shielding/coils used across fundamental-physics and sensing experiments. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Sushkov Lab @ BU
Summary:

Sushkov runs the US CASPEr program, using precision NMR / spin-precession (including SERF magnetometry) to search for axion-like dark matter, and develops NV-center nanoscale NMR of materials and single spins. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

William Terrano
Arizona State University 🔗

Tags:
Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Terrano Lab @ ASU
Summary:

Terrano uses nuclear-spin comagnetometers (e.g. He/Xe) and precision spin-precession to search for exotic spin-dependent forces, dark matter and electric dipole moments. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Tags:
Department(s)/lab(s): Institute of Physics / Helmholtz Institute Mainz | Budker Group (Matter-Antimatter section) @ JGU
Summary:

Wickenbrock develops atomic magnetometry and zero-to-ultralow-field NMR for chemical analysis and fundamental-physics searches (CASPEr, GNOME), including diamond- and OPM-based ZULF detection. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.
