- Abstract summary: Magnetic resonance imaging of spin systems combines scientific applications in medicine, chemistry and physics.
We investigate the pixel-wise coherent quantum dynamics of spins consisting of a 40 by 40 micron sized region of interest implanted with nitrogen vacancy centers (NV)
We show the effect of the $mathrmCrTe$ van der Waals magnet on the coherence of the NV sensor layer and measure a 70 times increase in the maximum frequency of the quantum oscillation.

- Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging of spin systems combines scientific applications
in medicine, chemistry and physics. Here, we investigate the pixel-wise
coherent quantum dynamics of spins consisting of a 40 by 40 micron sized region
of interest implanted with nitrogen vacancy centers (NV) coupled to a
nano-magnetic flake of $\mathrm{CrTe_2}$. $\mathrm{CrTe_2}$ is an in-plane van
der Waals ferromagnet, which we can probe quantitatively by the NV electron's
spin signal even at room temperature. First, we combine the nano-scale sample
shapes measured by atomic force microscope with the magnetic resonance imaging
data. We then map out the coherent dynamics of the colour centers coupled to
the van der Waals ferromagnet using pixel-wise coherent Rabi and Ramsey imaging
of the NV sensor layer. Next, we fit the pixel-wise solution of the Hamiltonian
to the quantum sensor data. Combining data and model, we can explore the
detuning range of the spin oscillation with a quantum dynamic range of over
$\left|\Delta_{max}\right|= 60 { }\mathrm{MHz} $ in the Ramsey interferometry
mode. Finally, we show the effect of the $\mathrm{CrTe_2}$ van der Waals magnet
on the coherence of the NV sensor layer and measure a 70 times increase in the
maximum frequency of the quantum oscillation going from the Rabi to the Ramsey
imaging mode.

Recently, wide-field NV magnetic imaging based on the Ramsey protocol has achieved uniform and enhanced sensitivity compared to conventional measurements.
We integrate the Ramsey-based protocol with spin-bath driving to extend the NV spin dephasing time and improve magnetic sensitivity.
We discuss potential new applications of this dynamic QDM in studying biomineralization and electrically-active cells.

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.
Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.

cavity photons and ferromagnetic spins excitations can exchange information coherently in hybrid architectures.
Speed enhancement is usually achieved by optimizing the geometry of the electromagnetic cavity.
We show that the geometry of the ferromagnet plays also an important role, by setting the fundamental frequency of the magnonic resonator.

We first benchmark the Hamiltonian engineering for two atoms, and then demonstrate the freezing of the magnetization on an initially magnetized 2D array.
