In the past decade, semiconducting qubits have made great strides in overcoming
decoherence, improving the prospects for scalability and have become one of the leading …

Measuring certain quantities at the nanoscale is often limited to strict conditions such as low
temperature or vacuum. However, the recently developed nanodiamond (ND) quantum …

The long-dreamed-of capability of monitoring the molecular machinery in living systems has
not been realized yet, mainly due to the technical limitations of current sensing technologies …

The Stern-Gerlach effect, found a century ago, has become a paradigm of quantum
mechanics. Unexpectedly, until recently, there has been little evidence that the original …

Diamonds owe their fame to a unique set of outstanding properties. They combine a high
refractive index, hardness, great stability and inertness, and low electrical but high thermal …

The past two decades have seen great advances in developing color centers in diamond for
sensing, quantum information processing, and tests of quantum foundations. Increasingly …

Due to their unique optical properties, diamonds are the most valued gemstones. However,
beyond the sparkle, diamonds have a number of unique properties. Their extreme hardness …

Abstract Nanodiamonds containing fluorescent Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers are the
smallest single particles, of which a magnetic resonance spectrum can be recorded at room …

State-of-the-art magnetic field measurements performed in shielded environments under
carefully controlled conditions rarely reflect the realities of those applications envisioned in …

Optical biomarkers have been used extensively for intracellular imaging with high spatial
and temporal resolution. Extending the modality of these probes is a key driver in cell …
