“…SQUIDs are nowadays exploited in a variety of physical measurements 4,5 with applications spanning, for instance, from pure science to medicine and biology 1,6 . Recently, the interest in the development of nanoscale SQUIDs [7][8][9] has been motivated by the opportunity to exploit these sensors for the investigation of the magnetic properties of isolated dipoles [10][11][12][13][14] , with the ultimate goal to detect one single atomic spin, i.e., one Bohr magneton.…”
