Superconductivity and magnetism are two of the most extensively studied ordered systems in condensed matter physics. Recent advancements in the fabrication of van der Waals (vdW) layered materials have significantly advanced the exploration of both fundamental physics and practical applications within their heterostructures. The focus not only lies on the coexisting mechanism between superconductivity and magnetism, but also highlights the potential of these atomically thin layers to serve as crucial components in future superconducting circuits. In this review, the latest research is summarized on hybrid superconducting-magnetic (SC-M) vdW heterostructures, encompassing new theoretical predictions, experimental performances, and device applications. The content is organized based on its distinct architectural configurations, including SC-M bilayers, SC-M-SC trilayers, and M-SC-M trilayers. Finally, the remaining challenges are discussed and also propose future directions for non-dissipative vdW spintronic devices.
