Enhanced metrology using preferential orientation of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond Supplemental Material I. OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO AC MAGNETIC FIELD SENSITIVITY
Samples A and B were chosen for this work because they are similar in most aspects excepting the presence or absence of preferential NV orientation. However, the two samples are not identical; they differ slightly in isotopic composition, NV density, and spin coherence time. Therefore, in order to properly compare the effect of preferential NV orientation on ac magnetic field sensitivity, we mu...
متن کاملWide-Field Strain Imaging with Preferentially-Aligned Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Polycrystalline Diamond
We report on wide-field optically detected magnetic resonance imaging of nitrogen-vacancy centers (NVs) in type IIa polycrystalline diamond. These studies reveal a heterogeneous crystalline environment that produces a varied density of NV centers, including preferential orientation within some individual crystal grains, but preserves long spin coherence times. Using the native NVs as nanoscale ...
متن کاملEnhanced Strain Coupling of Nitrogen-Vacancy Spins to Nanoscale Diamond Cantilevers
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers can couple to confined phonons in diamond mechanical resonators via the effect of lattice strain on their energy levels. Access to the strong spin-phonon coupling regime with this system requires resonators with nanoscale dimensions in order to overcome the weak strain response of the NV ground-state spin sublevels. In this work, we incorporate photostable NVs in d...
متن کاملQuantum error correction for metrology.
We propose and analyze a new approach based on quantum error correction (QEC) to improve quantum metrology in the presence of noise. We identify the conditions under which QEC allows one to improve the signal-to-noise ratio in quantum-limited measurements, and we demonstrate that it enables, in certain situations, Heisenberg-limited sensitivity. We discuss specific applications to nanoscale sen...
متن کاملMechanical spin control of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.
We demonstrate direct coupling between phonons and diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center spins by driving spin transitions with mechanically generated harmonic strain at room temperature. The amplitude of the mechanically driven spin signal varies with the spatial periodicity of the stress standing wave within the diamond substrate, verifying that we drive NV center spins mechanically. These spi...
