Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond are a leading high-sensitivity quantum sensor for magnetic fields. Their applications range across various fields including biology, materials science, and circuit diagnostics. Our work with NV diamond ensembles demonstrates micron-scale resolution and millimeter-scale field-of-view magnetic imaging capabilities under ambient conditions.
This event is part of the MIT Nano Explorations Webinar Series.
