• Abstract: Nuclear spins in solids offer a promising avenue for developing scalable quantum hardware. Leveraging nearby single-color centers, these spins can be efficiently addressed at the single-site level through spin resonance. However, characterising individual nuclear spins is quite cumbersome since the characterisation protocols may differ depending on the strength of the hyperfine coupling, necessitating tailored approaches and experimental conditions. While modified electron spin Hahn echoes like CPMG and XY8 pulse sequences are commonly employed, they encounter significant limitations in scenarios involving spin-1/2 systems, strongly coupled spins, or nuclear spin baths comprising distinct isotopes. Here, we present a more straightforward approach for determining the hyperfine interactions among each nuclear and the electron spin. This method holds promise across diverse platforms, especially for emerging S=1/2 group IV defects in diamond (e.g., SiV, GeV, SnV, PbV) or silicon (T-centre, P-donors). We provide a theoretical framework and adapt it for color-centers exhibiting various spins. Through simulations conducted on nuclear spin clusters, we evaluate different protocols and compare their performance using the Fisher information matrix and Cramer Rao bounds.

  pulse-based protocols have been shown to efficiently transfer optically induced polarisation of the electron defect spin to surrounding nuclear spins. We find that whenever polarisation resonances of nuclear spins are near-degenerate with a blocking' spin, which is single spin with stronger off-diagonal coupling to the electronic central spin, they are displaced out of the central resonant region.

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.
