All-Optical Wide-Field Magnetometry with Van Der Waals Quantum Sensor

Negatively charged boron vacancy ($V_B^-$) centers in hexagonal boron nitride ($h$-BN) have attracted wide-range interests owing to their van der Waals lattice and their potentials for $in$-$situ$ quantum sensing. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate an all-optical strategy for wide-field magnetometry based on $V_B^-$ centers. This strategy exploits the magnetically sensitive ground-state level anti-crossing (GSLAC) of $V_B^-$ centers, which induces a strong electron spin transition between $m_S = 0$ and $m_S = -1$ states, enabling microwave-free magnetic field measurement. By monitoring the shift of GSLAC feature, the external magnetic field can be precisely determined. Using this technique, we demonstrate all-optical wide-field imaging of near-field DC magnetic field distribution from current-carrying circuits over an area of around 42 $\times$ 21 $\mu$m$^2$. An estimated photon shot-noise-limited sensitivity of 67.1 $\mu$T/$\sqrt{\text{Hz}}$ is achieved for a single pixel, which is an approximately threefold improvement over the ODMR method, along with a spatial resolution of about 1 $\mu$m per pixel. Our approach expands the applicability of $V_B^-$ centers in quantum sensing, paving the way for robust and convenient magnetometry under extreme conditions.

EgoKit: Towards Unified Low-Cost Egocentric Data Collection with Heterogeneous Devices

Egocentric video is increasingly used as a data source for robot learning, activity understanding, and embodied AI research, but collecting it at scale remains fragmented in practice: each candidate host device, such as an Android phone, iPhone, iPad, smart glasses, or extended reality (XR) headset, exposes a different SDK, a different policy on raw camera access, and different limitations on external USB cameras and on-device tracking. Synchronized ego-view and wrist-view capture is therefore typically obtained by either committing to a single proprietary platform or building one-off rigs that do not transfer across devices. To address this gap, we present EgoKit, a toolkit that exposes the same egocentric recording workflow across six heterogeneous host devices. Across all supported devices, EgoKit presents the same recording interaction and produces locally stored video with a uniform log format; on XR headsets, it additionally logs head pose and OpenXR-standard 26-joint hand tracking aligned to the video streams. The companion accessories, including two wrist cameras with mounts, a head strap, and a USB-C hub, add wrist-view capture to any supported host without custom hardware fabrication. EgoKit is available at \url{https://egokit.chuange.org/}.

XRoboToolkit: A Cross-Platform Framework for Robot Teleoperation

The rapid advancement of Vision-Language-Action models has created an urgent need for large-scale, high-quality robot demonstration datasets. Although teleoperation is the predominant method for data collection, current approaches suffer from limited scalability, complex setup procedures, and suboptimal data quality. This paper presents XRoboToolkit, a cross-platform framework for extended reality based robot teleoperation built on the OpenXR standard. The system features low-latency stereoscopic visual feedback, optimization-based inverse kinematics, and support for diverse tracking modalities including head, controller, hand, and auxiliary motion trackers. XRoboToolkit's modular architecture enables seamless integration across robotic platforms and simulation environments, spanning precision manipulators, mobile robots, and dexterous hands. We demonstrate the framework's effectiveness through precision manipulation tasks and validate data quality by training VLA models that exhibit robust autonomous performance.

$T_2$-limited dc Quantum Magnetometry via Flux Modulation

High-sensitivity magnetometry is of critical importance to the fields of biomagnetism and geomagnetism. However, the magnetometry for the low-frequency signal detection meets the challenge of sensitivity improvement, due to multiple types of low-frequency noise sources. In particular, for the solid-state spin quantum magnetometry, the sensitivity of low frequency magnetic field has been limited by short $T_2^*$. Here, we demonstrate a $T_2$-limited dc quantum magnetometry based on the nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. The magnetometry, combining the flux modulation and the spin-echo protocol, promotes the sensitivity from being limited by $T_2^*$ to $T_2$ of orders of magnitude longer. The sensitivity of the dc magnetometry of 32 $\rm pT/Hz^{1/2}$ has been achieved, overwhelmingly improved by 100 folds over the Ramsey-type method result of 4.6 $\rm nT/Hz^{1/2}$. Further enhancement of the sensitivity have been systematically analyzed, although challenging but plenty of room is achievable. Our result sheds light on realization of room temperature dc quantum magnetomerty with femtotesla-sensitivity in the future.
