Coherent Microwave Control of a Nuclear Spin Ensemble at Room Temperature
P. Huillery, J. Leibold, T. Delord +4
We use nominally forbidden electron-nuclear spin transitions in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to demonstrate coherent manipulation of a nuclear spin ensemble using micro…
Spin-Cooling of the Motion of a Trapped Diamond
T. Delord, P. Huillery, L. Nicolas +1
Observing and controlling macroscopic quantum systems has long been a driving force in research on quantum physics. In this endeavor, strong coupling between individual quantum sys…
Spin-mechanics with levitating ferromagnetic particles
P. Huillery, T. Delord, L. Nicolas +3
We propose and demonstrate first steps towards schemes where the librational mode of levitating ferromagnets is strongly coupled to the electronic spin of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) cen…
Sub-GHz linewidths ensembles of SiV centers in a diamond nano-pyramid revealed by charge state conversion
L. Nicolas, T. Delord, P. Huillery +2
Producing nano-structures with embedded bright ensembles of lifetime-limited emitters is a challenge with potential high impact in a broad range of physical sciences. In this work,…
Diamond nano-pyramids with narrow linewidth SiV centers for quantum technologies
L. Nicolas, T. Delord, P. Huillery +2
Color centers in diamond are versatile solid state atomic-like systems suitable for quantum technological applications. In particular, the negatively charged silicon vacancy center…
