Surface adsorbates suppress low-frequency noise for shallow nitrogen-vacancy centers
Zhiyang Yuan, David A. Fehr, Kalliope Zervas +5
Shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are promising nanoscale quantum sensors, yet their coherence is strongly limited by surface-induced noise. Surface adsorbates are w…
An integrated ultrahigh vacuum cluster tool for diamond surface science and single nitrogen-vacancy center measurements
Zhiyang Yuan, Sorawis Sangtawesin, Lila V. H. Rodgers +5
We present a custom-designed ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) cluster tool developed for studying shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, enabling in situ diamond surface preparati…
High-Efficiency, High-Fidelity Charge Initialization of Shallow Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond
Marjana Mahdia, Artur Lozovoi, Jared Rovny +3
Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond exhibit long spin coherence times, optical initialization, and optical spin readout under ambient conditions, making them excellent quantum…
Quantum Noise Spectroscopy of Criticality in an Atomically Thin Magnet
Mark E. Ziffer, Francisco Machado, Benedikt Ursprung +20
Dynamic critical fluctuations in magnetic materials encode important information about magnetic ordering in the associated critical exponents. Using nitrogen-vacancy centers in dia…
An instructional lab apparatus for quantum experiments with single nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
Zhiyang Yuan, Sounak Mukherjee, Aedan Gardill +3
Hands-on experimental experience with quantum systems in the undergraduate physics curriculum provides students with a deeper understanding of quantum physics and equips them for t…
