Single spin detection is a key objective in the field of metrology. There have been many experimental and theoretical investigations for the spin detection based on the use of probe spins. A probe spin shows the precession due to dipole-dipole interaction from a target spin, and measurement results of the probe spin allow us to estimate the state of the target spin. Here, we investigate performance of single-spin detection when using an ensemble of probe spins. Even though the ensemble of probe spins inevitably induces projection noise that could hinder the signal from the target spin, optimization of the configuration of the spin ensemble improves the sensitivity such that enhancement of the signal can be much larger than the projection noise. The probe-spin ensemble is especially useful at a large distance from the target spin, where it is difficult for a single spin to read out the target spin within a reasonable repetition time. Our results pave the way for a new strategy to realize efficient single-spin detections.

We propose to encode a register of quantum bits in different collective electron spin wave excitations in a solid medium. Coupling to spins is enabled by locating them in the vicinity of a superconducting transmission line cavity, and making use of t
heir strong collective coupling to the quantized radiation field. The transformation between different spin waves is achieved by applying gradient magnetic fields across the sample, while a Cooper Pair Box, resonant with the cavity field, may be used to carry out one- and two-qubit gate operations.
Defects in solids are in many ways analogous to trapped atoms or molecules. They can serve as long-lived quantum memories and efficient light-matter interfaces. As such, they are leading building blocks for long-distance quantum networks and distribu
ted quantum computers. This chapter describes the quantum-mechanical coupling between atom-like spin states and light, using the diamond nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center as a paradigm. We present an overview of the NV centers electronic structure, derive a general picture of coherent light-matter interactions, and describe several methods that can be used to achieve all-optical initialization, quantum-coherent control, and readout of solid-state spins. These techniques can be readily generalized to other defect systems, and they serve as the basis for advanced protocols at the heart of many emerging quantum technologies.
Nanomagnetometry using the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond has attracted a great deal of interest because of the combined features of room temperature operation, nanoscale resolution and high sensitivity. One of the important goals for nano-m
agnetometry is to be able to detect nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in individual molecules. Our theoretical analysis shows how a single molecule at the surface of diamond, with characteristic NMR frequencies, can be detected using a proximate NV centre on a time scale of order seconds with nanometer precision. We perform spatio-temporal resolution optimisation and also outline paths to greater sensitivity. In addition, the method is suitable for application in low and relatively inhomogeneous background magnetic fields in contrast to both conventional liquid and solid state NMR spectroscopy.
We present a new quasi-probability distribution function for ensembles of spin-half particles or qubits that has many properties in common with Wigners original function for systems of continuous variables. We show that this function provides clear a
nd intuitive graphical representation of a wide variety of states, including Fock states, spin-coherent states, squeezed states, superpositions and statistical mixtures. Unlike previous attempts to represent ensembles of spins/qubits, this distribution is capable of simultaneously representing several angular momentum shells.
The hyperpolarisation of nuclear spins within target molecules is a critical and complex challenge in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Hyperpolarisation offers enormous gains in signal and spatial re
solution which may ultimately lead to the development of molecular MRI and NMR. At present, techniques used to polarise nuclear spins generally require low temperatures and/or high magnetic fields, radio-frequency control fields, or the introduction of catalysts or free-radical mediators. The emergence of room temperature solid-state spin qubits has opened exciting new pathways to circumvent these requirements to achieve direct nuclear spin hyperpolarisation using quantum control. Employing a novel cross-relaxation induced polarisation (CRIP) protocol using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond, we demonstrate the first external nuclear spin hyperpolarisation achieved by a quantum probe, in this case of $^1$H molecular spins in poly(methyl methacrylate). In doing so, we show that a single qubit is capable of increasing the thermal polarisation of $sim 10^6$ nuclear spins by six orders of magnitude, equivalent to an applied magnetic field of $10^5$,T. The technique can also be tuned to multiple spin species, which we demonstrate using both C{13} and $^1$H nuclear spin ensembles. Our results are analysed and interpreted via a detailed theoretical treatment, which is also used to describe how the system can be scaled up to a universal quantum hyperpolarisation platform for the production of macroscopic quantities of contrast agents at high polarisation levels for clinical applications. These results represent a new paradigm for nuclear spin hyperpolarisation for molecular imaging and spectroscopy, and beyond into areas such as materials science and quantum information processing.
