Abstract: The quantum precision magnetic measurement in high-pressure environments is of great significance for studying the evolution and structure of matter under an extreme environment. Given the challenges associated with achieving in-situ high-resolution magnetic detection under high pressure by using traditional methods, the proposed high-pressure quantum magnetic measurement based on solid-state color centres has made significant progress in recent years. This advancement is of great significance in advancing the study of matter under high pressure. And this paper primarily focuses on the research of quantum magnetic measurement using SiC color centres under high pressure. The optical and spin properties of silicon vacancy defects and divacancy defects in SiC under high pressure is reviewed. Furthermore, the magnetic phase transition of Nd₂Fe₁₄B is observed, and the critical temperature-pressure phase diagram of the superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_6.6 is mapped out. This work reviews and highlights the potential of silicon vacancy-based quantum sensors for in situ magnetic detection at high pressures. Its applications in pressure sensing, pressure-induced magnetic phase transformation and pressure-induced superconducting transformation are also presented.
