• Abstract: We investigate nitrogen-vacancy center (NV) ensembles in diamond under the influence of strongly-correlated electron-spin baths. We thoroughly calculate the decoherence properties of the NV central spin for bath concentrations of 0.1-100 ppm using the cluster-correlation expansion (CCE) method. We systematically analyze possible origins of the significant deviations in the values of the $T_2$ coherence time reported in literature. We demonstrate that significant variations can originate from the choice of averaging and fitting procedures used for the ensemble average and we point out the respective aspects that need to be considered, when comparing the various theoretical studies. Our study may ease readers to perform reliable and fast simulations on the central spin problem. It provides an understanding and interpretation of the outcome parameters describing the dynamics of the local bath spins.

• Scalable parallel measurement of individual nitrogen-vacancy centers [0.0]
  The nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond is a solid-state spin defect that has been widely adopted for quantum sensing and quantum information processing applications. We introduce an experimental platform that addresses multiple optically resolved NV centers in parallel. We show that the high signal-to-noise ratio of the measurements enables the detection of shot-to-shot pairwise correlations between the spin states of 10 NV centers.

• Understanding central spin decoherence due to interacting dissipative spin baths [17.695669245980124]
  We propose a new approach to simulate the decoherence of a central spin coupled to an interacting dissipative spin bath. We benchmark the approach on generic 1D and 2D spin baths and find excellent agreement with numerically exact simulations. Our calculations show a complex interplay between dissipation and coherent spin exchange, leading to increased central spin coherence in the presence of fast dissipation.

  We use nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond to measure the coherence of paramagnetic nitrogen defects (P1 centers) We detect coherent interactions between the P1 centers and a local bath of $13$C nuclear spins. Our work illustrates how the optically-dark P1 spins, despite being unpolarized, can be used to extract information from their local environment.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  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.
