We propose a solid-state hybrid platform based on an array of implanted nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond magnetically coupled to a mechanical oscillator.

Here, we propose a method to polarize a 13C nuclear spin in the vicinity of an NV center via a dark state. We demonstrate theoretically and numerically that it is robust to polarize various nuclear spins with different hyperfine couplings and noise strengths.

Here, we propose a robust scheme to realize an entangling gate for distant solid-state spins via a mechanical oscillator in its thermal equilibrium state.

Here we overcome this challenge with engineered quantum sensing sequences that achieve both, enhanced robustness and the simultaneous suppression of higher order harmonic resonances.

We experimentally demonstrate that the performance of the spin sensor is robust against dephasing due to a self protected machanism. The SiC thermometry may provide a promising platform for sensing in a noisy environment ,e.g. biological system sensing.

Here, we propose a concept of a hybrid dressed state from a pair of continuously driven systems. It allows sufficiently strong driving fields to suppress the effect of environmental noise while at the same time being insusceptible to both the amplitude and phase noise in the continuous driving fields.

We exploit the field gradient created by the diamond atomic sensor, in concert with compressed sensing, to realize imaging protocols, enabling individual nuclei to be located with Angstrom precision.

Jianming Cai, Fedor Jelezko & Martin B. Plenio, Nature Communications 5, Article number: 4065 (2014)

Here we present a proposal for a hybrid device composed of thin film layers of diamond with colour centres and piezoactive elements for the transduction and measurement of physical signals.

Jianming Cai and Martin B. Plenio, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 230503(2013)

Here, we show that the essence of the chemical compass model can be understood in analogy to a quantum interferometer exploiting global quantum coherence rather than any subsystem coherence.

We report the detection and polarization of nuclear spins in diamond at room temperature by using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center.
