TL;DR: In this paper, the use of diamond impurity centres as magnetic field sensors is explored, promising a new approach to single-spin detection and magnetic-field imaging at the nanoscale.

TL;DR: In this article, the basic principles of modern optical magnetometers, discuss fundamental limitations on their performance, and describe recently explored applications for dynamical measurements of biomagnetic fields, detecting signals in NMR and MRI, inertial rotation sensing, magnetic microscopy with cold atoms, and tests of fundamental symmetries of nature.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the application of atomic physics to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics and test the principles of general relativity.

TL;DR: An improvement of more than two orders of magnitude is demonstrated in the spin coherence time of nitrogen-vacancy centres of diamond, which could advance quantum sensing, enable squeezing and many-body entanglement, and open a path to simulating driven, interaction-dominated quantum many- body Hamiltonians.

TL;DR: A review of the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods, and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors can be found in this paper.
