Abstract: The functioning of the human brain, nervous system and heart is based on the conduction of electrical signals. These electrical signals also create magnetic fields which extend outside the human body. Highly sensitive magnetometers, such as superconducting quantum interference device magnetometers or optically pumped magnetometers, placed outside the human body can detect these biomagnetic fields and provide non-invasive measurements of e.g. brain activity, nerve impulses, and cardiac activity. Animal models are used widely in medical research, including for disease diagnostics and for drugs testing. We review the topic of biomagnetic recordings on animal models using optically pumped magnetometers, and present our experiments on detecting nerve impulses in the frog sciatic nerve and the heart beat in an isolated guinea pig heart.

An optically pumped magnetic gradiometer for the detection of human biomagnetism [0.0]
We show that our sensor can reach a gradiometric sensitivity of 18 $textfT/textcm/sqrttextHz$ and can reject common mode homogeneous magnetic field noise with up to 30 dB attenuation. In particular, we are able to record the auditory evoked response of the human brain, and to perform real-time magnetocardiography in the presence of external magnetic field disturbances.

All-Optical Nuclear Quantum Sensing using Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond [52.77024349608834]
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.

Microscopic-scale recording of brain neuronal electrical activity using a diamond quantum sensor [40.96261204117952]
Existing techniques for recording activity rely on potentially damaging direct interaction with the sample. We perform passive, microscopic-scale recording of electrical activity using a biocompatible quantum sensor based on colour centres in diamond. Our results open a promising new avenue for the microscopic recording of neuronal signals, offering the prospect of high resolution imaging of electrical circuits in the living mammalian brain.

A key challenge in cardiology is the non-invasive imaging of electric current propagation occurring in the cardiovascular system at an intra-cardiac scale. Here we demonstrate millimetre-scale magnetocardiography of living rats using a solid-state quantum sensor based on nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond.

Surpassing the Energy Resolution Limit with ferromagnetic torque sensors [55.41644538483948]
We evaluate the optimal magnetic field resolution taking into account the thermomechanical noise and the mechanical detection noise at the standard quantum limit. We find that the Energy Resolution Limit (ERL), pointed out in recent literature, can be surpassed by many orders of magnitude.
