• Abstract summary: We present a novel technique, Super-resolution Airy disk Microscopy (SAM) that can be used in a standard confocal microscope without any specialized optics. A greater than 14-fold improvement in resolution compared to the diffraction limit is achieved. We make use of our enhanced spatial resolution to control the spins states of individual NV centers separated from each other by less than the diffraction limit.

• Abstract: Super-resolution imaging techniques enable nanoscale microscopy in fields such as physics, biology, and chemistry. However, many super-resolution techniques require specialized optical components, such as a helical-phase mask. We present a novel technique, Super-resolution Airy disk Microscopy (SAM) that can be used in a standard confocal microscope without any specialized optics. We demonstrate this technique, in combination with ground state depletion, to image and control nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in bulk diamond below the diffraction limit. A greater than 14-fold improvement in resolution compared to the diffraction limit is achieved, corresponding to a spatial resolution of 16.9(8) nm for a 1.3 NA microscope with 589 nm light. We make use of our enhanced spatial resolution to control the spins states of individual NV centers separated from each other by less than the diffraction limit, including pairs sharing the same orientation that are indistinguishable with a conventional electron spin resonance measurement.

  Single photon emitters hosted in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are essential building blocks for quantum photonic technologies that operate at room temperature.

  Nano-NMR spectroscopy with nitrogen-vacancy centers holds the potential to provide high resolution spectra of minute samples. One of the main hurdles facing the technology is that diffusion of unpolarized liquid samples broadens the spectral lines thus limiting resolution. We show that the confinement 'counteracts' the effect of diffusion, thus overcoming a major obstacle to the resolving abilities of the NV-NMR spectrometer.
