The studies of many-body dynamics of interacting spin ensembles, as well as quantum sensing in solid state systems, are often limited by the need for high spin concentrations, along with efficient decoupling of the spin ensemble of interest…
The NV$^{-}$ color center in diamond has been demonstrated as a nanoscale sensor for quantum metrology. However, the properties that make it ideal for measuring, e.g., minute electric and magnetic fields also make it sensitive to…

Under ambient conditions, spin impurities in solid-state systems are found in thermally-mixed states and are optically "dark", i.e., the spin states cannot be optically controlled. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are an exception…
Coherent control of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond's triplet spin state has traditionally been accomplished with resonant ac magnetic fields under the constraint of the magnetic dipole selection rule, which forbids direct…
