  1. New preprint on Aharonov-Anandan phases in NV

    Our latest work on NV diamond geometric phases, in collaboration with the group of Prof Martin Plenio (Univ. Ulm, Germany) is detailed in a new preprint entitiled “Interplay between geometric and dynamic phases in a single spin system“. In it, we look at what ‘geometry’ really means when a quantum system accumulates a phase in […]

  2. Classical Rotation of a Quantum Spin

    Our paper on detecting phase shifts induced by physical rotation of a single NV centre has been published in Physical Review Letters as an Editor’s Suggestion, with an accompanying Focus article. This is the first time a quantum phase from classical rotation has been detected at the single-spin level, and these experiments demonstrate the fundamental connections […]
