Abstract

Nitrogen Vacancy NV color centers in diamond provide a unique nanoscale quantum spin system embedded in a solid state structure As such they are well suited for studies in a wide variety of fields with emerging applications ranging from quantum information processing to magnetic field sensing and nano MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging Importantly NVs possess unique optical transitions which allow for optical initialization and readout of their quantum spin state In this talk I will introduce the field of NV centers and describe our research into understanding and controlling these systems with the goal of enabling fundamental research and future applications I will present the techniques used for manipulation of the NV centers and for enhancing their quantum coherence lifetime Specifically I will describe our recent work on extending the coherence time of arbitrary quantum states and on spectrally characterizing the noise which limits coherence in shallow NVs I will then demonstrate how these approaches can be used for magnetic field sensing and nanoscale NMR Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and MRI
