DESCRIPTION:Prof. Patrick Maletinsky\, University of Basel\nQuantum two-le
 vel systems offer attractive opportunities for sensing and imaging\, espec
 ially at the nanoscale. In the almost twenty years since its inception\, t
 his idea [1] has advanced from proof of concept [2] to a mature quantum te
 chnology [3]\, with broad fields of applications in physics\, materials en
 gineering\, life-sciences\, and beyond.\nIn this talk\, I will present the
  founding principles and key engineering challenges in the field and highl
 ight particularly rewarding applications of single spin-based quantum sens
 ors. A particular focus will lie on new insights these sensors bring to me
 soscopic condensed-matter physics\, such as super-conductors [4] or novel
  magnetic materials. Specifically\, I will discuss the use of single-spin 
 quantum sensors to study and engineer atomically thin “van der Waals” 
 magnets [5-7] – an emerging class of magnetically ordered systems that 
 combine fundamental and practical interests and which so far were notoriou
 sly hard to address due to their weak magnetization and nanoscale spin-tex
 tures.\nI will conclude with an outlook on future developments of quantum 
 sensors\, such as their use in studying dynamical phenomena in quantum mat
 erials [8] or their applications under extreme conditions\, such as Tesla-
 range magnetic fields\, or millikelvin temperatures\, where new exciting a
 pplications wait to be explored.\nReferences:\n[1]   B. Chernobrod and

 ent of Physics of the University of Basel\, where he has been active since
  2012. He has joined the Department after studies of physics at ETH\, the 
 école normal supérieure in Paris and JILA in Boulder\, followed by a Ph.
 D. at ETH Zurich and a postdoc at Harvard University. His main research in
 terests are the development of novel\, spin-based quantum sensing technolo
 gies and their applications to nanoscience and solid-state mesoscopic phys
 ics. Next to applications of quantum sensors to fundamental science questi
 ons\, he is actively involved in transitioning this emerging technology to
  industrial applications\, in part through the startup company Qnami\, whi
 ch he co-founded in 2017. Prof. Maletinsky received an SNSF starting grant
  in 2015 and an ERC consolidator grant in 2020\; he is currently a member 
 of the Swiss Quantum Commission (quantum.scnat.ch) and head of the Basel P
 hysics Department.\n
