Quantum sensing is one of the pillars in the currently ongoing second quantum revolution. In my talk, I will explain how impurities in diamond, quantum sensors of just the size of an atom, can detect extremely tiny magnetic fields. Such so-called color centers in diamond are used for many applications, they have e.g. been used to map the Earth’s magnetic field. I will also show how muons produced at particle accelerators can be implanted in samples and used as tiny magnetic field sensors, every muon being one quantum sensor.
