OIST Centre for Quantum Technologies Colloquium

Potential of Diamond Quantum Sensors

Abstract:

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have superior physical properties, and their quantum coherence is preserved even at room temperature. To achieve an ideal quantum sensor for scalable applications, the technical challenges in the sensor materials and the quantum control techniques are developed. Moreover, sensor systems for the biological/ medical systems and battery/ power electronics are introduced.
