Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have been proposed for applications in high-density
storage, quantum simulation, quantum computing and spintronics applications. Bulk …

“Quantum sensing” describes the use of a quantum system, quantum properties, or quantum
phenomena to perform a measurement of a physical quantity. Historical examples of …

Quantum systems that consist of solid-state electronic spins can be sensitive detectors of
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals, particularly from very small samples. For …

The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) colour centre in diamond is an important physical system for
emergent quantum technologies, including quantum metrology, information processing and …

Application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to nanoscale samples has
remained an elusive goal, achieved only with great experimental effort at subkelvin …

Extension of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to nanoscale samples has been a
longstanding challenge because of the insensitivity of conventional detection methods. We …

Quantum sensing using optically addressable atomic-scale defects, such as the nitrogen-
vacancy (NV) center in diamond, provides new opportunities for sensitive and highly …

Quantum technologies represent a rapidly evolving field in which the specific properties of
quantum mechanical systems are exploited to enhance the performance of various …

We analyze precision bounds for a local phase estimation in the presence of general, non-
Markovian phase noise. We demonstrate that the metrological equivalence of product and …

We report a systematic study of the magnetic field sensitivity of a magnetic sensor consisting
of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond, by using continuous optically detected …
