Novel non‐collinear antiferromagnets with spontaneous time‐reversal symmetry breaking, non‐trivial band topology, and unconventional transport properties have received immense research interest over the past decade due to their rich physics and enormous promise in technological applications. One of the central focuses in this emerging field is exploring the relationship between the microscopic magnetic structure and exotic material properties. Here, nanoscale imaging of both spin–orbit‐torque‐induced deterministic magnetic switching and chiral spin rotation in non‐collinear antiferromagnet Mn3Sn films using nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers are reported. Direct evidence of the off‐resonance dipole–dipole coupling between the spin dynamics in Mn3Sn and proximate NV centers is also demonstrated by NV relaxometry measurements. These results demonstrate the unique capabilities of NV centers in accessing the local information of the magnetic order and dynamics in these emergent quantum materials and suggest new opportunities for investigating the interplay between topology and magnetism in a broad range of topological magnets.
