Diamond quantum sensors have been actively studied for applications in biomagnetic field measurements such as brain magnetic fields. We developed a diamond quantum sensor that can be placed close to the head of a living rat. We reduced the laser intensity noise by balance detection and obtained a magnetic field sensitivity of 13 pT Hz-1/2 in the bandwidth of the brain magnetic field. If the field’s strength is 1 to 10 pT, this sensor is expected to detect an evoked field. We are working on biometric measurements.
