Description
The Quantum Diamond Nanoengineering research group studies the quantum dynamics of spins in the solid state, both for fundamental quantum science and for realizing new-generation quantum technologies at the nanoscale. We combine advanced microscopy and electric/nuclear magnetic resonance methods to detect and manipulate the spin of optically-active defects in diamond — so-called color centers, as well as to explore and control their interaction with the magnetic and spin environment. We leverage on the exquisite experimental control of the spin state of color centers to build quantum-enhanced sensors that outperform classical ones. We develop novel imaging schemes for biological applications, as well as compact and portable sensors for field applications such as environment monitoring. More fundamentally, we aim at understand and control dynamics and thermodynamic processes in spin systems at the nanoscales, where quantum coherence, correlations, and fluctuations play a major role.
