- Abstract: High-sensitivity detection of microscopic magnetic field is essential in many
fields. Good sensitivity and high spatial resolution are mutually contradictory
in measurement, which is quantified by the energy resolution limit (ERL). Here
we report that a sensitivity of 0.5 ${\bf{nT/\sqrt{Hz}}}$ at the nanoscale is
achieved experimentally by using nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond with
depths of tens of nanometers. The achieved sensitivity is substantially
enhanced by integrating with multiple quantum techniques, including
real-time-feedback initialization, dynamical decoupling with shaped pulses,
repetitive readout via quantum logic. Our magnetic sensors will shed new light
on searching new physics beyond the standard model, investigating microscopic
magnetic phenomena in condensed matters, and detection of life activities at
the sub-cellular scale.

Microwave or radio-frequency driving poses a significant limitation for miniaturization, energy-efficiency and non-invasiveness of quantum sensors.
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.

Local detection of magnetic fields is crucial for characterizing nano- and micro-materials.
Diamond nanoparticles (nanodiamonds) offer an attractive opportunity to chieve high spatial resolution.
A physical model for such a randomly oriented nanodiamond ensemble (NDE) is available, but the complexity of actual experimental conditions still limits the accuracy of deducing magnetic fields.
Here, we demonstrate magnetic field imaging with high accuracy of 1.8 $mu$T combining NDE and machine learning without any physical models.
