• Abstract: The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a promising candidate for various quantum applications, such as quantum sensing. High sensitivity in NV-based magnetic sensing requires a diamond sample with a high density of NV centers and a long electron spin dephasing time. In this work, we propose a systematic measurement method for determining the electron spin dephasing time of NV center ensembles and analyze the contributions to the dephasing time from various sources, including NV-NV interactions, strain distribution, $^{13}C$ nuclear spin, and P1 electron spin. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on a series of high-performance diamond samples and provide a comprehensive understanding of dephasing sources, enabling the optimization of NV-based quantum sensing applications.

  We describe protocols to use optically unresolved NV center pairs and nuclear spins as multi-qubit sensors for correlated measuring noise. For length scales around 10 nm, we create maximally entangled Bell states through dipole-di coupling two NV centers. This changes the scaling sensitivity with readout noise from quadratic to linear.
