• Abstract: Individual nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond are versatile, spin-based quantum sensors. Coherently controlling the spin of NV centers using microwaves in a typical frequency range between 2.5 and 3.5 GHz is necessary for sensing applications. In this work, we present a stripline-based, planar, {\Omega}-shaped microwave antenna that enables to reliably manipulate NV spins. We find an optimal antenna design using finite integral simulations. We fabricate our antennas on low-cost, transparent glass substrate. We demonstrate highly uniform microwave fields in areas of roughly 400 x 400 {\mu}m^2 while realizing high Rabi frequencies of up to 10 MHz in an ensemble of NV centers.

We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.
