Sub Nanometer Magnetic Resonance Imaging Using Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond

The detection of ensembles of spins under ambient conditions has revolutionized the biological chemical and physical sciences through magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear magnetic resonance Pushing sensing capabilities to the individual spin level would enable unprecedented applications such as single molecule structural imaging and atomic scale studies of condensed matter systems however the weak magnetic fields from single spins are undetectable by conventional far field resonance techniques Over the past decade there
