QSense OIST Mini-Symposium Talk 13: "Magnetic Sensing with NV Centers and Zero-field NMR"

Speaker: Prof Dmitry Budker, Department of Physics, University of California, Berkeley

Magnetic Sensing with NV Centers and Zero-field NMR
(QSense OIST Mini Symposium Talk 13)​

We will discuss some recent results on NV magnetometry, including the progress towards “Extreme NMR,” where a single molecule will be probed with a single NV center at zero magnetic field, see [1].

OIST Mini-Symposium for Quantum Sensors of Magnetic and Inertial Forces

This mini-symposium is hosted by the Quantum Machines Unit in the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, and will take place from Feb 1, 2021 - March 8, 2021. To get the precise schedule and zoom invitation please register below. Attendance is open to any student/faculty member from any of the institutions associated with the speakers.

Summary

Quantum systems are extremely fragile, sensitive to noise and fluctuations by their environments. This, in turn, makes them excellent sensors for a variety of forces and fields. In this mini-symposium we focus on the development of novel quantum sensors which are aimed at the precision sensing of inertial forces such as acceleration or gravity, and magnetic forces.

Such sensors - accelerometers/gravimeters or magnetometers, have a widespread application in industry such as sensing underground water movements using gravimeters, through to magnetic brain imaging using magnetoencephelography. Each week we hear from three international experts on these topics in hour-long seminars and discussions.
