abstract
A magnetometer using spin-polarized K and $^3$He atoms occupying the same volume is used to search for anomalous nuclear spin-dependent forces generated by a separate $^3$He spin source. We measure changes in the $^3$He spin precession frequency with a resolution of 18 pHz and constrain anomalous spin forces between neutrons to be less than $2 \times 10^{-8}$ of their magnetic or less than $2\times 10^{-3}$ of their gravitational interactions on a length scale of 50 cm. We present new limits on neutron coupling to light pseudoscalar and vector particles, including torsion, and constraints on recently proposed models involving unparticles and spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry.

UNVERDICTED 3representative citing papers
Geometric pulses enable fast, error-correcting state transitions in co-located spin ensembles without frequency selectivity, demonstrated at milliradian precision over hours on nuclear spins.
The paper reviews comagnetometry as a sensitive probe for new physics including EDMs, Lorentz violation, CP-violating forces, and axionic dark matter, while discussing prospects for further sensitivity gains based on signal-to-noise.
