A new paper, "Quantum imaging of photonic spin texture in an OAM beam with NV centers in diamond," authored by Shoaib Mahmud and the NV team, has been published in New Journal of Physics. This publication highlights the group's research in the field of quantum sensing.
The paper presents an advancement in quantum imaging by demonstrating the use of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as nanoscale quantum sensors. This technique enables the imaging of photonic spin texture, which is the spatial distribution of light's spin angular momentum, a property related to phenomena such as optical skyrmions. The team's research utilizes the coherent interaction between photon spin and the NV center electron spin to achieve sub-wavelength imaging of the light's spin texture.
This work contributes to the development of quantum imaging platforms with applications in quantum technology. The research provides a rigorous exploration of light-matter interactions at the quantum level.
