Quantum Sensing of Quantum Materials
Abstract
NV magnetometry, known also as qubit based magnetometry, has been demonstrated to be a transformative tool for detecting weak magnetic fields with unprecedented resolution and sensitivity. Many of the advantages behind this sensing technique results from the quantum mechanical nature of the sensor. Up to date most of the research in NV magnetometry has gone into improving the sensitivity and resolution of the technique with remarkable demonstrations such as the direct real space imaging of a single electron spin, 3D magnetic resonance imaging of electron spins with sub nm resolution, the detection of ensembles of nuclear spins with chemical specificity and even the detection of a single nuclear spin on the surface of diamond. While these demonstrations are indeed remarkable they are nonetheless ÔdemonstrationsÕ involving detection of paramagnetic spins in ÔsterileÕ environments. The goal in this project is to explore the advantages of NV based magnetometry in real life examples and in particular in exploring condensed matter physics.
