• Abstract: Detection of AC magnetic fields at the nanoscale is critical in applications ranging from fundamental physics to materials science. Isolated quantum spin defects, such as the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, can achieve the desired spatial resolution with high sensitivity. Still, vector AC magnetometry currently relies on using different orientations of an ensemble of sensors, with degraded spatial resolution, and a protocol based on a single NV is lacking. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a protocol that exploits a single NV to reconstruct the vectorial components of an AC magnetic field by tuning a continuous driving to distinct resonance conditions. We map the spatial distribution of an AC field generated by a copper wire on the surface of the diamond. The proposed protocol combines high sensitivity, broad dynamic range, and sensitivity to both coherent and stochastic signals, with broad applications in condensed matter physics, such as probing spin fluctuations.

These properties have been exploited in recent years to obtain nanoscale resolution measurements of static magnetic fields.

  We present an open source simulation tool that models the influence of arbitrary electric and magnetic fields on the electronic and nuclear spin states of NV ensembles. Specifically, the code computes the transition strengths and predicts the sensitivity under shot-noise-limited optically-detected magnetic resonance. We show that our code can be used to optimize sensitivity in situations where usual arguments based on neglecting terms in the full Hamiltonian would give sub-optimal results.

We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.

  Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.
