The magnetism in superconductors is often accompanied by exotic electronic phases such as the vortex formation in high temperature type II superconductors. Several experimental tools have been developed to study magnetic phase transitions within these systems. However, the local sensing of dynamical mechanisms in superconductors still remains a challenge. A sensor scheme based on an atomic sized quantum sensor, the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, pushes the sensitivity to the local read out of weak magnetic fields. Here, we present a spatially resolved study of the Meissner effect by using the fluorescence count rate of an NV center ensemble. We are able to observe a correlation between the NV fluorescence and the Meissner state of a Lanthanum Strontium Cooper Oxide (LSCO) thin film. Implementing the NV center emission into time resolved pump probe experiments could enable the local measurement of dynamical processes.
