• Abstract: Fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have been exploited as sensitive quantum probes for nanoscale chemical and biological sensing applications, with the majority of demonstrations to date relying on the detection of single FNDs. This places significant limits on the measurement time, throughput and statistical significance of a measured result as there is usually marked inhomogeneity within FND samples. Here we have developed a measurement platform that can report the T1 spin relaxation time from a large ensemble of FNDs in solution. We first describe a refined sensing protocol for this modality and then use it to identify the optimal FND size for the detection of paramagnetic targets. Our approach is simple to set up, robust and can be used for rapid material characterisation or a variety of in-situ quantum sensing applications.

  Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) is a non-invasive technique widely used in medicine and engineering to measure the velocity field of a fluid. Previous studies have required the shape of the boundary (for example, a blood vessel) to be known a priori. We present a physics-informed neural network that instead uses the noisy MRV data alone to infer the most likely boundary shape and de-noised velocity field.
