Recently, there have been significant developments to detect nuclear spins with an nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond. However, due to the nature of the short range dipole-dipole interaction, it takes a long time to detect distant nuclear spins with the NV centers. Here, we propose a rapid detection of nuclear spins with an entanglement between the NV centers. We show that the necessary time to detect the nuclear spins with the entanglement is several orders of magnitude shorter than that with separable NV centers. Our result pave the way for new applications in nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
