Radio communication through attenuating media necessitates the use of very-low frequency (VLF) and ultra-low frequency (ULF) carrier bands, which are frequently used in underwater and under-ground communication applications. Quantum sensing…
Measurements monitoring the inductive coupling between oscillating radio-frequency magnetic fields and objects of interest create versatile platforms for non-destructive testing. The benefits of ultra low frequency measurements, i.e., below…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is universally acknowledged as an excellent tool to extract detailed spatial information with minimally invasive measurements. Efforts toward ultra-low-field (ULF) MRI are made to simplify the scanners and…
The sensitive detection of either static or radio-frequency \textsc{(rf)} magnetic fields is essential to many fundamental studies and applications. Here, we demonstrate the operation of a cold-atom-based, \textsc{rf} magnetometer in…

In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the position, orientation and gain of a magnetic field sensor using a set of (large) electromagnetic coils. We apply the method for calibrating an array of optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs)…
Fields with frequencies below megahertz are challenging for Rydberg-atom-based measurements, due to the low-frequency electric field screening effect that is caused by the alkali-metal atoms adsorbed on the inner surface of the container.…
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an analytical surface characterization tool which can reveal a sample's topography with high spatial resolution while simultaneously probing tip-sample interactions. Local measurement of chemical properties…
Robust calibration of vector optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) is a nontrivial task, but increasingly important for applications requiring high-accuracy such as magnetic navigation, geophysics research, and space exploration. Here, we…
