Abstract

An unusual regime for liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) where the magnetic field strength is so low that the JJ-coupling (intramolecular spin-spin) interactions dominate the spin Hamiltonian opens a new paradigm with applications in spectroscopy, quantum control, and in fundamental-physics experiments, including searches for well-motivated dark-matter candidates. An interesting possibility is to bring this kind of "extreme NMR" together with another one---single nuclear spin detected with a single-spin quantum sensor. This would enable single-molecule JJ-spectroscopy.
