  • Patent number: 11940399
    Abstract: Systems and methods of quantum sensing include obtaining information regarding a target signal in electronic spin states of quantum defects in an ensemble of quantum defects, mapping the information regarding the target signal from the electronic spin states of the quantum defects to corresponding nuclear spin states associated with the quantum defects, applying a light pulse to the ensemble of quantum defects to reset the electronic spin states of the quantum defects, and repeating a readout stage a plurality of times within a readout duration. The readout stage includes mapping the information regarding the target signal back from the nuclear spin states to the corresponding electronic spin states and applying a data acquisition readout pulse to optically measure the electronic spin states of the quantum defects.

  • Publication number: 20230204695
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a sensor chip for parallelized magnetic sensing of a plurality of samples, a system for parallelized magnetic sensing of a plurality of samples and a method for probing a plurality of samples using optically addressable solid-state spin systems. The sensor chip comprises an optically transparent substrate comprising a plurality of optically addressable solid-state spin systems arranged in a plurality of sensing regions in a surface layer below a top surface of the substrate. The sensor chip further comprises a plurality of sample sites, wherein each sample site is arranged above a respective sensing region. The sensor chip has a light guiding system configured to provide an optical path through the substrate connecting each of the sensing regions.

  • Publication number: 20230081886
    Abstract: Systems and methods of quantum sensing include depositing a sample volume onto an ensemble of quantum defects, hyperpolarizing spins in the sample volume, performing a sensing sequence, and reading out information regarding electronic spin states of the quantum defects in the ensemble of quantum defects, which sense the hyperpolarized spins in the sample volume.
