• Abstract summary: We report a study of high-resolution microwave spectroscopy of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond crystals at and around zero magnetic field. We observe characteristic splitting and transition imbalance of the hyperfine transitions, which originate from level anti-crossings in the presence of a transverse effective field. Our results are of importance for the optimization of the experimental conditions for the polarization-selective microwave excitation of spin-1 systems in zero or weak magnetic fields.

• Abstract: We report a study of high-resolution microwave spectroscopy of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond crystals at and around zero magnetic field. We observe characteristic splitting and transition imbalance of the hyperfine transitions, which originate from level anti-crossings in the presence of a transverse effective field. We use pulsed electron spin resonance spectroscopy to measure the zero-field spectral features of single nitrogen-vacancy centers for clearly resolving such level anti-crossings. To quantitatively analyze the magnetic resonance behavior of the hyperfine spin transitions in the presence of the effective field, we present a theoretical model, which describes the transition strengths under the action of an arbitrarily polarized microwave magnetic field. Our results are of importance for the optimization of the experimental conditions for the polarization-selective microwave excitation of spin-1 systems in zero or weak magnetic fields.

  Entanglement can improve the measurement precision of quantum sensors beyond the shot noise limit. We take advantage of the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction native to most neutral atoms to realize spin-squeezed states. We achieve 7.1 dB of metrologically useful squeezing using the finite-range spin exchange interactions in an erbium quantum gas microscope.

  We demonstrate a new approach for the metrology of microwave fields based on the trap-loss-spectroscopy of cold Rydberg atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Compared to state-of-the-art sensors using room-temperature vapors, cold atoms allow longer interaction times, better isolation from the environment and a reduced Doppler effect.

  We analyse the effect of a strong perpendicular magnetic field on an intersubband transition in a disordered doped quantum well strongly coupled to an optical cavity. The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.

  In this study polarisation transfer to a heteronucleus is achieved through a selective rotation of the proton singlet-triplet states. Surprisingly we find that efficient polarisation transfer driven by a STORM (Singlet-Triplet Oscillations through Rotating Magnetic fields) pulse in the presence of $mu$T bias fields requires rotation frequencies on the order of several kHz.

• Zero-field magnetometry using hyperfine-biased nitrogen-vacancy centers near diamond surfaces [5.189354274663932]
  We show that a 130 MHz coupling from a first-shell 13C nuclear spin can provide an effective bias field to an NV center spin. With the charge noises suppressed by the strong hyperfine field, the ac magnetometry under zero field also reaches the limit set by decoherence. The hyperfine-bias enhanced zero-field magnetometry can be combined with dynamical decoupling to enhance single-molecule magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
