Hyperpolarized relaxometry based nuclear T1 noise spectroscopy in hybrid diamond quantum registers
Ashok Ajoy, Ben Safvati, Raffi Nazaryan +14
Understanding the origins of spin lifetimes in hybrid quantum systems is a matter of current importance in several areas of quantum information and sensing. Methods that spectrally…
Room temperature "Optical Nanodiamond Hyperpolarizer": physics, design and operation
Ashok Ajoy, Raffi Nazaryan, Emanuel Druga +12
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is a powerful suite of techniques that deliver multifold signal enhancements in NMR and MRI. The generated athermal spin states can also be explo…
Wide dynamic range magnetic field cycler: Harnessing quantum control at low and high fields
A. Ajoy, X. Lv, E. Druga +11
We describe the construction of a fast field cycling device capable of sweeping a 4-order-of-magnitude range of magnetic fields, from ~1mT to 7T, in under 700ms. Central to this sy…
Enhanced dynamic nuclear polarization via swept microwave frequency combs
A. Ajoy, R. Nazaryan, K. Liu +9
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) has enabled enormous gains in magnetic resonance signals and led to vastly accelerated NMR/MRI imaging and spectroscopy. Unlike conventional cw-t…
Orientation independent room-temperature optical 13C hyperpolarization in powdered diamond
A. Ajoy, K. Liu, R. Nazaryan +15
Dynamic nuclear polarization via contact with electronic spins has emerged as an attractive route to enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) beyond the traditio…
