Key Points

  • The study achieves a vibration-related noise reduction exceeding 700-fold, improving measurement stability and precision.
  • New constraints on parity-violating interactions are established, surpassing previous experimental limits by three orders of magnitude.
  • The hybrid spin-resonance regime enhances nuclear-electron spin coupling without compromising sensitivity.
  • Results complement existing astrophysical studies on potential extensions to the Standard Model.

Abstract

High-sensitivity quantum sensors are a promising tool for experimental searches for beyond-Standard-Model interactions. Here, we demonstrate an atomic comagnetometer operating under a resonantly-coupled hybrid spin-resonance (HSR) regime to probe P-odd, T-even interactions. The HSR regime enables robust nuclear-electron spin coupling, enhancing measurement bandwidth and stability without compromising the high sensitivity of spin-exchange relaxation-free magnetometers. To minimize vibration-related noise from velocity-modulated sources, we implement a multistage vibration isolation system, achieving a vibration-related noise reduction exceeding 700-fold. We establish new constraints on vector-boson-mediated parity-violating interactions, improving experimental sensitivity by three orders of magnitude compared to previous limits. The new constraints complement existing astrophysical and laboratory studies of potential extensions to the Standard Model.
