As modern optical and atomic magnetometers achieve unprecedented sensitivity and size, weight, and power (SWaP) characteristics, a variety of applications become increasingly relevant. We will present an overview of some of the commercially available sensors and discuss how they present different advantages, along with what would, in our view, be an "ideal" magnetic sensor, through an industry-led and application-motivated lens.
