Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method of quantum sensing, comprising:
obtaining information regarding a target signal in electronic spin states of quantum defects in an ensemble of quantum defects;
mapping the information regarding the target signal from the electronic spin states of the quantum defects to corresponding nuclear spin states associated with the quantum defects;
applying a light pulse to the ensemble of quantum defects to reset the electronic spin states of the quantum defects; and
repeating a readout stage a plurality of times within a readout duration, wherein the readout stage includes:
mapping the information regarding the target signal back from the nuclear spin states to the corresponding electronic spin states; and
applying a data acquisition readout pulse to optically measure the electronic spin states of the quantum defects.
