The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a powerful platform for quantum sensing and imaging. The electron spin states of the NV center are highly sensitive to environmental factors such as magnetic and electric fields, microwave radiation, and temperature. This sensitivity extends down to detecting a single electron spin or a few nuclear spins, providing unparalleled precision. Measurements using the NV center are conducted optically, leveraging the relationship between NV fluorescence and its resonance spin states. These states reflect changes in the surrounding environment, enabling applications such as detecting free radicals in oxidative stress or monitoring temperature changes with millikelvin and sub-micron resolution.
