Conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy relies on acquiring signal from a macroscopic ensemble of molecules to gain information about molecular structure and dynamics. Transferring this technique to nanoscale sample sizes…
The ability to create time-dependent magnetic fields of controlled polarization is essential for many experiments with magnetic resonance. We describe a microstrip circuit that allows us to generate strong magnetic field at microwave…
Optically polarizable nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond enables the hyperpolarization of $^{13}$C nuclear spins at low magnetic field and room temperature. However, achieving a high level of polarization comparable to conventional…
The ultra-wide bandgap of diamond distinguishes it from other semiconductors, in that all known defects have deep energy levels that are inactive at room temperature. Here, we present the effect of deep defects on the mechanical energy…
Fabrication of devices designed to fully harness the unique properties of quantum mechanics through their coupling to quantum bits (qubits) is a prominent goal in the field of quantum information processing (QIP). Among various qubit…
By using density functional theory, we have studied vibrational features, Raman activities, and electronic properties of ultrathin hydrogen-passivated diamond nanowires (H-DNWs). Confinement imposes the softening of transverse acoustic…
We introduce a microwave-assisted spectroscopy technique to determine the relative concentrations of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond that are negatively-charged (NV${}^-$) and neutrally-charged (NV${}^0$), and present its…
The sharp optical resonances of NV- centers in diamond at cryogenic temperatures offer powerful new capabilities for material characterization, but extracting the most detailed information typically requires careful calibration of…
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spans diverse fields from biology to quantum science. Employing NMR on a floating object could unveil novel possibilities beyond conventional operational paradigms. Here, we observe Nuclear Magnetic…
Methods that preserve coherence broadly impact all quantum information processing and metrology applications. Dynamical decoupling methods accomplish this by protecting qubits in noisy environments but are typically constrained to the limit…
One of solution-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)'s main weaknesses, is its relative insensitivity. J-driven Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (JDNP) was recently proposed for enhancing the sensitivity of solution-state NMR, by bypassing…
In this paper, we describe the modification of Nanoscale Impedance Microscopy (NIM), namely, a combination of contact-mode atomic force microscopy with local impedance measurements. The postulated approach is based on the application of…
Optically-probed nitrogen-vacancy (NV) quantum defects in diamond can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals with high-spectral resolution from micron-scale sample volumes of about 10 picoliters. However, a key challenge for NV-NMR…
Sensing the direction of arrival and polarization of impinging signals is a key prerequisite for beamforming and interference mitigation in modern wireless communication systems. Dynamic metasurface antennas (DMAs) can multiplex direction-…
Multichannel imaging -- the ability to acquire images of an object through more than one imaging mode simultaneously -- has opened interesting new perspectives in areas ranging from astronomy to medicine. Visible optics and magnetic…
Understanding the profile of a qubit's wavefunction is key to its quantum applications. Unlike conducting systems, where a scanning tunneling microscope can be used to probe the electron distribution, there is no direct method for…
We determine the polarization of the bulk $^{13}$C nuclear spin system in diamond produced by interaction with optically oriented nitrogen-vacancy (NV-) defect centers. $^{13}$C nuclei are polarized into the higher energy Zeeman state with…
Sensitive nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of target spins using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond will require a quantitative understanding of dominant noise at the surface. We probe this noise by applying dynamical…
Fundamental weak interactions have been shown to violate parity in both nuclear and atomic systems. However, observation of parity violation in a molecular system has proven an elusive target. Nuclear spin dependent contributions of the…
We show the dielectrophoretic actuation of single-crystal diamond nanomechanical devices. Gradient radio-frequency electromagnetic forces are used to achieve actuation of both cantilever and doubly clamped beam structures, with operation…
