An improved spatial magnetometer using a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate of $^{87}$Rb atoms is realized utilizing newly developed two-polarization phase contrast imaging. The optical shot noise is suppressed by carefully choosing the probe parameters. We attain a dc-magnetic field sensitivity of 7.7 ${rm pT/sqrt{Hz}}$ over a measurement area of 28 ${rm mu m^{2}}$. The attained sensitivity per unit area is superior to that for other modern low-frequency magnetometers with micrometer-order spatial resolution. This result is a promising step for realizing quantum-enhanced magnetometry surpassing classical methods.

The ever-increasing demand for high-capacity rechargeable batteries highlights the need for sensitive and accurate diagnostic technology for determining the state of a cell, for identifying and localizing defects, or for sensing capacity loss mechani sms. Here, we demonstrate the use of atomic magnetometry to map the weak induced magnetic fields around a Li-ion battery cell as a function of state of charge and upon introducing mechanical defects. These measurements provide maps of the magnetic susceptibility of the cell, which follow trends characteristic for the battery materials under study upon discharge. In addition, the measurements reveal hitherto unknown long time-scale transient internal current effects, which were particularly pronounced in the overdischarged regime. The diagnostic power of this technique is promising for the assessment of cells in research, quality control, or during operation, and could help uncover details of charge storage and failure processes in cells.
We demonstrate detection of a weak alternate-current magnetic field by application of the spin echo technique to F = 2 Bose-Einstein condensates. A magnetic field sensitivity of 12 pT/Hz^1/2 is attained with the atom number of 5*10^3 at spatial resol ution of 99 mu m^2. Our observations indicate magnetic field fluctuations synchronous with the power supply line frequency. We show that this noise is greatly suppressed by application of a reverse phase magnetic field. Our technique is useful in order to create a stable magnetic field environment, which is an important requirement for atomic experiments which require a weak bias magnetic field.
In a recent publication [arXiv:2010.14579], we introduced a new type of atomic magnetometer, which relies on hydrohalide photo-dissociation to create high-density spin-polarized hydrogen. Here, we extend our previous work and present a detailed theor etical analysis of the magnetometer signal and its dependence on time. We also derive the sensitivity for a spin-projection noise limited magnetometer, which can be applied to an arbitrary magnetic field waveform.
We report on an all-optical magnetometric technique based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation with amplitude-modulated light. The method enables sensitive magnetic-field measurements in a broad dynamic range. We demonstrate the sensitivity of $4.3t imes10^{-9}$ G/$sqrt{text{Hz}}$ at 10 mG and the magnetic field tracking in a range of 40 mG. The fundamental limits of the method sensitivity and factors determining current performance of the magnetometer are discussed.
We present a set of experiments to optimize the performance of the noninvasive thermometer based on proximity superconductivity. Current through a standard tunnel junction between an aluminum superconductor and a copper electrode is controlled by the strength of the proximity induced to this normal metal, which in turn is determined by the position of a direct superconducting contact from the tunnel junction. Several devices with different distances were tested. We develop a theoretical model based on Usadel equations and dynamic Coulomb blockade which reproduces the measured results and yields a tool to calibrate the thermometer and to optimize it further in future experiments.
