Abstract

Ultra-precise readout of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins hold promise for major advancements in quantum sensing and computing technologies. We predict significant brightness and contrast enhancements in NV spin qubit readout and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) arising from plasmonic interaction. We present a rigorous theory verified using existing measurements in the literature for such predictions. Plasmonic spin readout enhancements selectively manifest in carefully engineered parameter regions, necessitating rigorous modelling prior to experimentation.
