The Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) defect in diamond is a unique quantum system that offers precision sensing of nanoscale physical quantities beyond the current state-of-the-art. Here we present a method to controllably encode the interactions in the population of the spin states, thereby introducing a way to control the sensitivity of a single spin as a continuum in contrast to free-evolution based methods. By adopting this feature we demonstrate high-accuracy NV magnetometry without 2pi ambiguities, enhance the dynamic range by a factor of 4*10^3 achieve interaction times exceeding 2 ms in off-the-shelf diamond. We perform nuclear spin-noise spectroscopy in the frequency domain by dynamically controlling the NV spins sensitivity piecewise and in a smooth manner thereby precluding harmonic artefacts and undesired interactions. On a broader perspective dynamical sensitivity control provides an elegant handle on the inherent dynamics of quantum systems, while offering decisive advantages for NV centre applications notably in quantum controls and single molecule NMR/MRI.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful method for determining the structure of molecules and proteins. While conventional NMR requires averaging over large ensembles, recent progress with single-spin quantum sensors has created the prospect o
f magnetic imaging of individual molecules. As an initial step towards this goal, isolated nuclear spins and spin pairs have been mapped. However, large clusters of interacting spins - such as found in molecules - result in highly complex spectra. Imaging these complex systems is an outstanding challenge due to the required high spectral resolution and efficient spatial reconstruction with sub-angstrom precision. Here we develop such atomic-scale imaging using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre as a quantum sensor, and demonstrate it on a model system of $27$ coupled $^{13}$C nuclear spins in a diamond. We present a new multidimensional spectroscopy method that isolates individual nuclear-nuclear spin interactions with high spectral resolution ($< 80,$mHz) and high accuracy ($2$ mHz). We show that these interactions encode the composition and inter-connectivity of the cluster, and develop methods to extract the 3D structure of the cluster with sub-angstrom resolution. Our results demonstrate a key capability towards magnetic imaging of individual molecules and other complex spin systems.
Understanding the dynamics of a quantum bits environment is essential for the realization of practical systems for quantum information processing and metrology. We use single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to study the dynamics of a disorde
red spin ensemble at the diamond surface. Specifically, we tune the density of dark surface spins to interrogate their contribution to the decoherence of shallow NV center spin qubits. When the average surface spin spacing exceeds the NV center depth, we find that the surface spin contribution to the NV center free induction decay can be described by a stretched exponential with variable power n. We show that these observations are consistent with a model in which the spatial positions of the surface spins are fixed for each measurement, but some of them reconfigure between measurements. In particular, we observe a depth-dependent critical time associated with a dynamical transition from Gaussian (n=2) decay to n=2/3, and show that this transition arises from the competition between the small decay contributions of many distant spins and strong coupling to a few proximal spins at the surface. These observations demonstrate the potential of a local sensor for understanding complex systems and elucidate pathways for improving and controlling spin qubits at the surface.
Manipulation of a quantum system requires the knowledge of how it evolves. To impose that the dynamics of a system becomes a particular target operation (for any preparation of the system), it may be more useful to have an equation of motion for the
dynamics itself--rather than the state. Here we develop a Markovian master equation for the process matrix of an open system, which resembles the Lindblad Markovian master equation. We employ this equation to introduce a scheme for optimal local coherent process control at target times, and extend the Krotov technique to obtain optimal control. We illustrate utility of this framework through several quantum coherent control scenarios, such as optimal decoherence suppression, gate simulation, and passive control of the environment, in all of which we aim to simulate a given terminal process at a given final time.
A protocol is discussed for preparing a spin chain in a generic many-body state in the asymptotic limit of tailored non-unitary dynamics. The dynamics require the spectral resolution of the target state, optimized coherent pulses, engineered dissipat
ion, and feedback. As an example, we discuss the preparation of an entangled antiferromagnetic state, and argue that the procedure can be applied to chains of trapped ions or Rydberg atoms.
Robust, high-fidelity readout is central to quantum device performance. Overcoming poor readout is an increasingly urgent challenge for devices based on solid-state spin defects, particularly given their rapid adoption in quantum sensing, quantum inf
ormation, and tests of fundamental physics. Spin defects in solids combine the repeatability and precision available to atomic and cryogenic systems with substantial advantages in compactness and range of operating conditions. However, in spite of experimental progress in specific systems, solid-state spin sensors still lack a universal, high-fidelity readout technique. Here we demonstrate high-fidelity, room-temperature readout of an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers via strong coupling to a dielectric microwave cavity, building on similar techniques commonly applied in cryogenic circuit cavity quantum electrodynamics. This strong collective interaction allows the spin ensembles microwave transition to be probed directly, thereby overcoming the optical photon shot noise limitations of conventional fluorescence readout. Applying this technique to magnetometry, we show magnetic sensitivity approaching the Johnson-Nyquist noise limit of the system. This readout technique is viable for the many paramagnetic spin systems that exhibit resonances in the microwave domain. Our results pave a clear path to achieve unity readout fidelity of solid-state spin sensors through increased ensemble size, reduced spin-resonance linewidth, or improved cavity quality factor.
