• Abstract: We propose a nuclear-spin-polarization protocol in a general evolution-and-measurement framework. The protocol works in a spin-star configuration, where the central spin is coupled to the surrounding bath (nuclear) spins by flip-flop interaction of equal strength and is subject to a sequence of projective measurements on its ground state. Then a nondeterministic nuclear spin polarization could be implemented by entropy reduction through measurement. The optimized measurement-interval $\tau_{\rm opt}$ is analytically obtained in the near-resonant condition, which is relevant to the nuclear spins' polarization degree of the last-round measurement, the number of nuclear spins, and the coupling strength between the central spin and nuclear spins. Hundreds and even thousands of randomly aligned nuclear spins at the thermal state could be almost fully polarized with an optimized sequence of less than $20$ unequal-time-spacing measurements. In comparison to the conventional approaches, our protocol is not sensitive to the magnetic-field intensity, and it is robust against the extra counterrotating interaction in the near-resonant situation.

• Blueprint for efficient nuclear spin characterization with color center [0.0]
  Nuclear spins in solids offer a promising avenue for developing scalable quantum hardware. Characterising individual nuclear spins is quite cumbersome since the characterisation protocols may differ depending on the strength of the hyperfine coupling. We present a more straightforward approach for determining the hyperfine interactions among each nuclear and the electron spin.

  We propose a method for the estimation of the initial polarization of spinful nuclei of the $13C$ isotope in diamond. Existing polarization measurement methods are difficult to implement experimentally, because they require direct interference in the environment of the qubit. We exemplify the operation of the scheme on a realistic, randomly generated environment of eight nuclear spins.

  This article demonstrates that the hyperfine coupling, which consists of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions, can mediate the application of spin-orbit torques acting on nuclear spins. The reactions to the equilibrium and nonequilibrium components of the spin density is a torque on the nucleus with field-like and damping-like components. This nuclear spin-orbit torque is a step toward stabilizing and controlling nuclear magnetic momenta, in magnitude and direction, and realizing nuclear spintronics.

  Nuclear spins in certain solids couple weakly to their environment, making them attractive candidates for quantum information processing and inertial sensing. We demonstrate optical nuclear spin polarization and rapid quantum control of nuclear spins in a diamond physically rotating at $1,$kHz, faster than the nuclear spin coherence time. Our work liberates a previously inaccessible degree of freedom of the NV nuclear spin, unlocking new approaches to quantum control and rotation sensing.

  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.
