Abstract

Quantum sensors that harness atomic defects within diamond as quantum bits have attracted much interest in application areas including photonics, quantum computing and biosensing. Of the hundreds of defects within diamond, the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) defect is being widely studied due to the ability to optically address and read out its quantum spin state and its ability to sense magnetic fields, electric fields, temperature and chemical oxidation states at room temperature. In this talk, I will present results demonstrating the sensing capabilities of NV defects within diamond in biochemical solutions, mammalian cells, molecular cages and photomagnetic materials. Finally, I will discuss future prospects for sensitivity enhancement and miniaturisation leveraging photonic structures.
