The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV$^-$) center in diamond is a model quantum system for university teaching labs due to its room-temperature compatibility and cost-effective operation. Based on the low-cost experimental setup that…
Physical systems reach thermal equilibrium through energy exchange with their environment, and for spins in solids the relevant environment is almost always the host lattice in which they sit. However, recent studies motivated by…
We report detection and coherent control of a single proton nuclear spin using an electronic spin of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a quantum sensor. In addition to determining the NV-proton hyperfine parameters by employing…
The optically induced polarization of localized electron spins in an ensemble of quantum dots (QDs) dephases due to the interaction with the surrounding nuclear spins. Despite this dephasing, the spins in the QDs can be controlled to…
A promising approach for multi-qubit quantum registers is to use optically addressable spins to control multiple dark electron-spin defects in the environment. While recent experiments have observed signatures of coherent interactions with…

Solid-state spin defects, such as color centers in diamond, are among the most promising candidates for scalable and integrated quantum technologies. In particular, the good optical properties of silicon-vacancy centers in diamond combined…

We propose a method for the estimation of the initial polarization of spinful nuclei of the 13 C isotope in diamond via a measurement of the evolution of the coherence of an NV center spin qubit. Existing polarization measurement methods…
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a promising strategy for generating a significantly increased non-thermal spin polarization in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications thereby circumventing the need for strong magnetic fields.…
The study establishes that the degree of optically induced spin polarization that can be achieved for NV$^- $in 1b diamond is limited by the concentration of single substitutional nitrogen, N$^0$ . The polarization of the individual NV…
The nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) center in diamond is promising as an electron spin qubit due to its long-lived coherence and optical addressability. The ground state is a spin triplet with two levels ($m_s = \pm 1$) degenerate at zero magnetic…
Extensive work on single molecule magnets has identified a fundamental mode of relaxation arising from the nuclear-spin assisted quantum tunnelling of nearly independent and quasi-classical magnetic dipoles. Here we show that nuclear-spin…
Motivated by the recent experimental progress in exploring the use of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a quantum computing platform, we propose schemes for fast and high-fidelity entangling gates on this platform. Using both…
The hyperpolarization of nuclear spins can enable powerful imaging and sensing techniques provided the hyperpolarization is sufficiently long-lived. Recent experiments on nanodiamond $^{13}$C nuclear spins demonstrate that relaxation times…
We use tunable dipolar-interactions between the spins of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to rotate a diamond crystal. Specifically, we employ cross-relaxation between the electronic spin of pairs of NV centers in a trapped diamond…
