Quantum magnetic vortex field (QFM) of a neodymium ring magnet shown by the ferrolens in real time. The field on the perimeter of the ring magnet extends and curls on the outside holographically shown by the ferrolens with the field inside the ring magnetically confined and forming a torus.

The magnetic dipole field geometry of subatomic elementary particles like the electron differs from the classical macroscopic field imprint of a bar magnet. It resembles more like an eight figure or else joint double quantum-dots instead of the classical, spherical more uniform field of a bar magnet. This actual subatomic quantum magnetic field of an electron at rest, is called Quantum Magnet or else a Magneton. It is today verified experimentally by quantum magnetic field imaging methods and sensors like SQUID scanning magnetic microscopy of ferromagnets and also seen in Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) quantum ferrofluids experiments. Normally, a macroscale bar magnet should behave like a relative giant Quantum Magnet with identical magnetic dipole field imprint since all of its individual magnetons collectively inside the material, dipole moments are uniformly aligned forming the total net field of the magnet. However due to Quantum Decoherence (QDE) phenomenon at the macroscale and macroscopic magnetic field imaging sensors limitations which cannot pickup these rapid quantum magnetization fluctuations, this field is masked and not visible at the macroscale. By using the relative inexpensive submicron resolution Ferrolens quantum magnetic optical superparamagnetic thin film sensor for field real time imaging and method we have researched in our previous publications, we can actually make this net magneton field visible on macroscale magnets. We call this net total field herein, Quantum Field of Magnet (QFM) differentiating it therefore from the field of the single subatomic magneton thus quantum magnet. Additionally, the unique potential of the Ferrolens device to display also the magnetic flux lines of this macroscopically projected giant Magneton gives us the opportunity for the first time to study the individual
