Description
Searching for new particles beyond the standard model is crucial for understanding several fundamental conundrums in physics and astrophysics. Several hypothetical particles can mediate exotic spin-dependent interactions between ordinary fermions, which enable laboratory searches via the detection of the interactions. We present a platform based on diamond quantum sensors for investigating exotic spin-dependent interactions at micrometer scales. Recently, we conducted experimental searches for exotic spin-dependent interactions with an ensemble-NV-diamond magnetometer. Our work shows that NV ensembles are highly capable of probing exotic spin-spin interactions beyond the Standard Model.
