Due to their inherent nature spins are very sensitive to magnetic fields. The Zeeman effect can thus be used to sense magnetic fields. Solid state systems as silicon carbide (SiC) can host defects with high spin states, which can be optically detected such as the silicon vacancy (VSi) in 4H-SiC down to the single level at room temperature [1]. In our previous work we showed that the C3V symmetry of this system together with the spin state of S=3/2 allows extraction of the magnetic field strength and polar angle [2,3]. Here we demonstrate that an analytical solution in combination with pulsed spin manipulation techniques can be used to measure the complete magnetic field vector even in a large dynamic range [4]. Combined with electrical readout such approaches can lead to highly sensitive and integrated quantum vector magnetometers [5].
