Fields such as psychology, in which the mind is always related to the brain and its faculties, and philosophy, with prominent figures like Locke and Descartes, have been keen on studying and analysing the nature of consciousness. Defined by Locke as “the perception of what passes in a man’s own mind”, consciousness has also interested those working in the field of literature. In fiction, the reader is allowed to know what other people (or characters in this case) are thinking, which would be something impossible in real life. This is closely related

    Precision Magnetometers for Aerospace Applications James S. Bennett,1, ∗ Brian E. Vyhnalek,2, ∗ Hamish Greenall,1 Elizabeth M. Bridge,1 Fernando Gotardo,1 Stefan Forstner,1 Glen I. Harris,1 F´elixA. Miranda,2, y and Warwick P. Bowen1, z 1School of Mathematics and Physics, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, Brisbane Queensland 4072, Australia 2NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio 44135, The United States of America (Dated: July 1, 2021) Aerospace technologies are crucial for modern civilization; space-based infrastructure underpins weather forecasting, communications, terrestrial navigation and logistics, planetary observations, solar monitoring, and other indispensable capabilities. Extraplanetary exploration { including or- bital surveys and (more recently) roving, flying, or submersible unmanned vehicles { is also a key scientific and technological frontier, believed by many to be paramount to the long-term survival and prosperity of humanity. All of these aerospace applications require reliable control of the craft and the ability to record high-precision measurements of physical quantities. Magnetometers deliver on both of these aspects, and have been vital to the success of numerous missions. In this review paper, we provide an introduction to the relevant instruments and their applications. We consider past and present magnetometers, their proven aerospace applications, and emerging uses. We then look to the future, reviewing recent progress in magnetometer technology. We particularly focus on magnetometers that use optical readout, including atomic magnetometers, magnetometers based on quantum defects in diamond, and optomechanical magnetometers. These optical magnetometers offer a combination of field sensitivity, size, weight, and power consumption that allows them to reach performance regimes that are inaccessible with existing techniques.
