- Abstract: In recent years, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond have become
excellent solid-state quantum sensors due to their electronic spin properties.
Especially for their easy optical initialization and detection, together with
their very large spin coherence at room temperature. Many studies have reported
their use for sensing temperature, strain, electric fields, and mainly magnetic
fields. Here, we show how to build a two-dimensional map of the electronic spin
coherence of an ensemble of NV centers in ultra-pure diamond, using an optical
imaging protocol combined with microwave pulses relying simply on a regular CCD
camera.

Tin-vacancy center (SnV) in diamond is a promising spin-photon interface with desirable optical and spin properties at 1.7 K.
We introduce a new platform that overcomes these challenges - SnV centers in uniformly strained thin diamond membranes.
The presence of crystal strain suppresses temperature dependent dephasing processes, leading to a considerable improvement of the coherence time up to 223 $mu$s at 4 K.

We present a scalable approach to increase the size of electronic-spin registers.
We experimentally realize this approach to demonstrate the detection and coherent control of an unknown electronic spin outside the coherence limit of a central NV.
Our work paves the way for engineering larger quantum spin registers with the potential to advance nanoscale sensing, enable correlated noise spectroscopy for error correction, and facilitate the realization of spin-chain quantum wires for quantum communication.

We overcome this limitation by demonstrating a purely optical approach to coherent quantum sensing.
Our results pave the way for highly compact quantum sensors to be employed for magnetometry or gyroscopy applications.
