Introduction to Quantum Optimal Control for Quantum Sensing with Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond

Abstract

Diamond based quantum technology is a fast emerging field with both scientific and technological importance. With the growing knowledge and experience concerning diamond based quantum systems, comes an increased demand for performance. Quantum optimal control (QOC) provides a direct solution to a number of existing challenges as well as a basis for proposed future applications. Together with a swift review of QOC strategies, quantum sensing and other relevant quantum technology applications of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, we give the necessary background to summarize recent advancements in the field of QOC assisted quantum applications with NV centers in diamond.
