    Optically Pumped Magnetometers (OPM)
    OPMs, often called alkali-vapor magnetometers, represent the pinnacle of sensitivity for ambient field measurement, achieving femtotesla ($\text{fT}$) resolution. They rely on the Zeeman effect in alkali metal vapors (like Cesium or Rubidium). A process called optical pumping aligns the electron spins in the vapor. T…
