Abstract
We provide a high-level description of the emerging field of quantum sensing and magnetic imaging with “Nitrogen-Vacancy” (NV) electronic spins in diamond. This field has seen remarkable growth since its inception in 2008, and today forms one of the cornerstones of the “2nd quantum revolution”, where control over single quantum entities is exploited to gain technological advantages. Nanoscale NV-based quantum sensors already led to key scientific discoveries and form a mature technology, which today is brought to the market by Qnami – a start-up company who co-authored this article.
