Title: Ferromagnetic Gyroscopes for Tests of Fundamental Physics
Abstract: We propose how to measure general-relativistic precession of intrinsic spin, to test this question. In our concept a compass (a ferromagnet) is made to precess around, instead of pointing along, the direction of a magnetic field, due to its electrons' intrinsic spins. We seek to perform a proof-of-principle measurement in a ferromagnet levitating above a superconductor.
