A review of the study of diamond NV color centers: fabrication, application and challenge

Yunyun Li, Han Li, Yi Tao +2 more

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond have emerged as a focal point in quantum technology research due to their exceptional optical and electronic spin properties. This discovery not only expands our understanding of the material properties of diamond but also paves the way for practical applications in quantum technology. As a solid-state spin quantum system characterized by long electron spin coherence times and stable performance, NV color centers offer distinct advantages in quantum information processing. Recent advancements have enabled the fabrication of high-quality NV color centers with controllable concentration and spatial positioning through techniques such as in situ doping, ion implantation, and hybrid approaches. These technological breakthroughs have significantly enhanced the efficiency of NV center fabrication, thereby establishing a robust foundation for their widespread application in quantum sensing and quantum information technologies. This review provides a compre­hensive introduction to the structure and fundamental properties of NV color centers in diamond, an in-depth analysis of recent progress in their fabrication techniques, and a critical discussion of their current applications in quantum science and technology. Additionally, the challenges, open questions, and future research directions in NV color center studies are addressed.

Optical correlations and spectra

J. T. Brown

The well-known techniques for determining the spectrum and correlation function of a light signal as well as the more recently developed techniques for determining the corresponding functions for the photocurrent produced by the signal are discussed. The fundamental relationships between the four kinds of measurements are emphasized and some of the more specialized differences and interrelations are discussed.
