From first principles to stray fields

The way atoms and spins are arranged in a crystal lattice governs the properties of the resulting material, which is particularly true for the magnetic stray field. Matching calculations based on first principles with physical reality requieres precise measurements of the field, often with high sensitivity and spatial resolution. Scanning NV adds a powerful tool to the toolbox, providing data that can complement PEEM, MFM and other methods.

Nitrogen vacancy centers

The unique properties of the nitrogen vacancy center not only make it a good quantum sensor, but also an ideal testbed for a wide variety of quantum applications.

Ranging from educational room temperature quantum computing with two qubits, to sensing atoms at the diamond surface via NMR, the possibilities are broad.
