Quantum magnetometers optically monitor the interaction between alkali-metal-atoms and an external magnetic field and detect the change in electron spin due to the magnetic field being applied. This allows the detection of micro-defects in materials and objects that are not visible or hidden from view.The MagV project will deliver the World's first commercial miniaturised rf atomic magnetometer that can operate in unshielded environments allowing general use and wide deployment.Primary applications have been identified in consultation with an extensive Industry Advisory Board, who have defined industry challenges driving the need for miniaturised-RF-quantum-magnetometers as novel sensors within non-destructive testing.The project brings together substantial research on quantum magnetometers with route to commercialisation through established VCSEL supply chain partners and an end-user to maintain UK leadership in quantum technologies.

量子磁力计以光学方式监测碱金属原子与外部磁场之间的相互作用，并检测由于施加磁场而导致的电子自旋的变化。这使得能够检测材料和物体中不可见或隐藏的微观缺陷。MagV 项目将提供世界上第一个商用小型射频原子磁力计，该磁力计可以在非屏蔽环境中运行，允许普遍使用和广泛部署。主要应用有是在与广泛的行业咨询委员会协商后确定的，该委员会定义了推动小型化射频量子磁力计作为无损检测中新型传感器的需求的行业挑战。该项目汇集了对量子磁力计的大量研究，通过成熟的 VCSEL 供应链合作伙伴和最终用户实现商业化，以保持英国在量子技术方面的领先地位。
