Single-Spin Magnetic Resonance in the Nitrogen-Vacancy Center of Diamond

Dieter Suter, TU Dortmund and Fedor Jelezko, Uni Ulm

Magnetic resonance of single spins has flourished mostly because of the unique properties of the NV center in diamond. This review covers the basic physics of this defect center, introduces the techniques for working with single spins and gives an overview of some applications like quantum information and sensing.
