摘要

Abstract

Single qubit in solid-state materials recently emerges as a versatile platform for quantum information. Among them

the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre in diamond has become a powerful tool in quantum sensing for detecting various physics parameters

including electric and magnetic fields

temperature

force

strain

with ultimate precision and resolutions. It has been widely used in different conditions

from samples in ambient to samples in ultra-high pressure and low temperature. It can detect quantum phase transitions as well as neuron activities. Here we give a general review on both the physics of the sensing mechanism and protocols and applications.
