Scalable, nanoscale positioning of highly coherent color centers in prefabricated diamond nanostructures

Sunghoon Kim, Paz London, Daipeng Yang +6

Nanophotonic devices in color center-containing hosts provide efficient readout, control, and entanglement of the embedded emitters. Yet control over color center formation - in nu…

Roadmap on Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Raffi Budakian, Amit Finkler, Alexander Eichler +22

The field of nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (NanoMRI) was started 30 years ago. It was motivated by the desire to image single molecules and molecular assemblies, such as pro…

Selective Noise Resistant Gate

Jonatan Zimmermann, Paz London, Yaniv Yirmiyahu +3

Realizing individual control on single qubits in a spin-based quantum register is an ever-increasing challenge due to the close proximity of the qubits resonance frequencies. Curre…

Coherent control of solid state nuclear spin nano-ensembles

Thomas Unden, Nikolas Tomek, Timo Weggler +11

Detecting and controlling nuclear spin nano-ensembles is crucial for the further development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and for the emerging solid state quant…

Local probing of nuclear bath polarization with a single electronic spin

Paz London, Ran Fischer, Ignacio Alvizu +2

We demonstrate experimentally that a polarized nuclear spin modifies the dynamic behavior of a neighboring electronic spin. Specifically, an out-of-phase component appears in the e…

Local and bulk 13C hyperpolarization in NV-centered diamonds at variable fields and orientations

Gonzalo A. Alvarez, Christian O. Bretschneider, Ran Fischer +6

Polarizing nuclear spins is of fundamental importance in biology, chemistry and physics. Methods for hyperpolarizing 13C nuclei from free electrons in bulk, usually demand operatio…

Strong driving of a single spin using arbitrarily polarized fields

P. London, P. Balasubramanian, B. Naydenov +2

The strong driving regime occurs when a quantum two-level system is driven with an external field whose amplitude is greater or equal to the energy splitting between the system's s…

Time-Optimal Universal Control of Two-Level Systems under Strong Driving

Chen Avinadav, Ran Fischer, Paz London +1

We experimentally study the time-optimal construction of arbitrary single-qubit rotations under a single strong driving field of finite amplitude. Using radiation-dressed states of…

Detecting and polarizing nuclear spins with double resonance on a single electron spin

P. London, J. Scheuer, J. -M. Cai +11

We report the detection and polarization of nuclear spins in diamond at room temperature by using a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. We use Hartmann-Hahn double resonance to co…

Bulk Nuclear Polarization Enhanced at Room-Temperature by Optical Pumping

Ran Fischer, Christian O. Bretschneider, Paz London +3

Bulk 13C polarization can be strongly enhanced in diamond at room-temperature based on the optical pumping of nitrogen-vacancy color centers. This effect was confirmed by irradiati…

Self-Similar Modes of Coherent Diffusion

O. Firstenberg, P. London, D. Yankelev +3

Self-similar solutions of the coherent diffusion equation are derived and measured. The set of real similarity solutions is generalized by the introduction of a nonuniform phase su…

All-optical reconstruction of atomic ground-state population

P. London, O. Firstenberg, M. Shuker +1

The population distribution within the ground-state of an atomic ensemble is of large significance in a variety of quantum optics processes. We present a method to reconstruct the…

Elimination, reversal, and directional bias of optical diffraction

O. Firstenberg, P. London, M. Shuker +2

We experimentally demonstrate the manipulation of optical diffraction, utilizing the atomic thermal motion in a hot vapor medium of electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT).…
