• Abstract: We show, theoretically and experimentally, how the absolute orientation and polarization state of radio-frequency (RF) magnetic fields in a transverse 2D plane can be uniquely determined using two optically pumped atomic magnetometers. In addition, the output signals from these quantum sensors can be readily expressed as a magnetic Jones vector. This composite device can complement electric field detection in finding RF directions, or it can be used in applications where the electric field is negligible. The latter is found in a myriad of applications where the source can be modeled as radiating magnetic dipoles in the near-field limit. This new tool could be used to characterize a material's response to RF excitation or to distinguish signal from noise.

  Continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance (CW-ODMR) measurements with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in diamond are used for sensing DC magnetic fields from nearby targets. This technique suffers from ambiguities in the extraction of the magnetic field components when resonances due to different NV orientation classes overlap with each other. Here, we perform detailed experimental and theoretical studies of such effects on NV ensembles experiencing low bias magnetic fields.
