Abstract

The negatively charged Nitrogen Vacancy NV center in diamond is formed by a nitrogen atom adjacent to a vacant site in a carbon diamond lattice Although the NV is within a solid state crystal it has atom like properties such as discrete energy levels quantum spin state and long coherence times Characterizing theoretically and experimentally the adiabaticity of a quantum system is an important part of understanding its underlying physics By adiabaticity we mean it s ability to stay in the same quantum state even though external conditions may vary In the presented work we studied both theoretically and experimentally the behavior of the NV spins under rapid changes of the external magnetic field We will also introduce a possible practical application which depends on the adiabatic behavior of the NV center
