Patterning programmable spin arrays on DNA origami for quantum technologies
Zhiran Zhang, Taylor Morrison, Lillian Hughes +6
The controlled assembly of solid-state spins with nanoscale spatial precision is an outstanding challenge for quantum technology. Here, we combine DNA-based patterning with nitroge…
200 keV energy electron irradiation of single crystal diamond: Quantification of vacancy and nitrogen-vacancy production
Chloe C Newsom, Lillian B Hughes, Ben L Green +2
Electron irradiation and annealing treatments are a method of colour centre/defect creation in diamond. The depth profile of defects created by low energy 200 keV electrons in sing…
A spin-embedded diamond optomechanical resonator with mechanical quality factor exceeding one million
Hyunseok Oh, Viraj Dharod, Carl Padgett +13
Diamond optomechanical crystal (OMC) devices with embedded color center spins are promising platforms for a broad range of applications in quantum sensing, networking, and computin…
Signal amplification in a solid-state quantum sensor via asymmetric time-reversal of many-body dynamics
Haoyang Gao, Leigh S. Martin, Lillian B. Hughes +8
Electronic spins of nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond constitute a promising system for micro- and nano-scale magnetic sensing, due to their operation under ambient conditio…
Spin squeezing in an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
Weijie Wu, Emily J. Davis, Lillian B. Hughes +10
Spin squeezed states provide a seminal example of how the structure of quantum mechanical correlations can be controlled to produce metrologically useful entanglement. Such squeeze…
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…
