Description
Not only optical magnetometers are the most sensitive magnetic-field sensors, but they may also be used to search for non-magnetic spin couplings, including those associated with hypothetical dark-matter interactions. The performance of the sensors will be discussed in the context of searches for exotic spin couplings using a network of synchronized magnetometers [1], which extends the searching possibilities to transient and spatially correlated perturbations. Search targets and developed dark-matter detection schemes [2] will be discussed.
