- Abstract: Quantum sensing exploits the strong sensitivity of quantum systems to measure
small external signals. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is one of
the most promising platforms for real-world quantum sensing applications,
predominantly used as a magnetometer. However, its magnetic field sensitivity
vanishes when a bias magnetic field acts perpendicular to the NV axis. Here, we
introduce a novel sensing strategy assisted by the nitrogen nuclear spin that
uses the entanglement between the electron and nuclear spins to restore the
magnetic field sensitivity. This, in turn, allows us to detect small changes in
the magnetic field angle relative to the NV axis. Furthermore, based on the
same underlying principle, we show that the NV coupling strength to magnetic
noise, and hence its coherence time, exhibits a strong asymmetric angle
dependence. This allows us to uncover the directional properties of the local
magnetic environment and to realize maximal decoupling from anisotropic noise.

spin dyad [0.0]
We investigate the coherent spin dynamics of a hetero-spin system formed by a spin S=1 featuring a non-zero crystal field.
We show that the zero-quantum coherences we create between them can be remarkably long-lived.
These spin dyads could be exploited as nanoscale gradiometers for precision magnetometry or as probes for magnetic-noise-free electrometry and thermal sensing.

Specifically, we use spin population inversion after a ground state level crossing of the NV center to turn the diamond into a diamagnet.
The diamond crystalline axis naturally aligns to the magnetic field with high precision and in the absence of micro-wave, offering bright prospects for applications in biology and spin-mechanical platforms.
