• Abstract: Sensitive detection of magnetic field is one of the open problem in metrology. Here, we propose an Mach-Zehnder atomic interferometry to sensitively detect the very weak local magnetic field, which is expelled by the superconductor (as the "testing magnet") due to the Meissner effect. The induced magnetic field gradient near the superconductor provides a centripetal acceleration of the atomic motion in the interferometry and thus can be detected by using the atomic interferences. Given gravity acceleration of the atoms have been measured at the accuracy of $10^{-12}$ g, the measured sensitivity of the expelled local field could reach $10^{-14}$ T.

  We develop an in-situ magnetic detection technique at megabar pressures with high sensitivity and sub-microscale spatial resolution. We observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism (alpha-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism (beta-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism (gamma-Fe3O4) The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.

  A squeezed probe optical field can improve the sensitivity of the magnetic field measurements based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation. An independent pump field, amplitude-modulated at the Larmor frequency of the bias magnetic field, allows us to extend the range of most sensitive NMOR measurements to sub-Gauss magnetic fields.

As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.

  We show that a 130 MHz coupling from a first-shell 13C nuclear spin can provide an effective bias field to an NV center spin. With the charge noises suppressed by the strong hyperfine field, the ac magnetometry under zero field also reaches the limit set by decoherence. The hyperfine-bias enhanced zero-field magnetometry can be combined with dynamical decoupling to enhance single-molecule magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

We uncover an unexplained interference effect in atomic magnetometers, which causes an important systematic effect to greatly deteriorate the accuracy of measuring magnetic fields. We consider the effect of the interference in NMR structural determination and locating the brain electrophysiological symptom, and show that it will help to improve the measurement accuracy.
