Commercial quantum scanning microscopes generally are available at a price point more appropriate for multi-user facilities, but a do-it-yourself build is a viable option for users who prefer to modify the experiment setup or do not wish to reserve time on a shared instrument.

NV centers are powerful research tools in fields from biology to material science, where researchers exploit the quantum properties of the center’s electron to enhance its sensitivity to magnetic and electric fields, as well as temperature. Using an NV Center, these properties can be measured optically and at ambient conditions.

Until now, quantum computing and quantum science in general has not been the focal point of many dedicated educational labs. But working with NV centers is a way to do exactly that, allowing students to actively work with the electron spin of an NV center as a qubit.

Scanning NV magnetometry commonly is applied in two different ways. The first type of measurement, called a pulsed measurement, is extremely sensitive but very slow. Continuous wave (CW) scanning NV magnetometry, meanwhile, is less sensitive but is relatively fast, recording a single data point within a few seconds.

AFM Controller: QS-PLL
|
The QS-PLL is an atomic force microscope (AFM) controller designed for use with resonant probes, such as tuning forks, and Mad City Labs nanopositioners and micropositioners. The controller integrates motion control and phase lock loop (PLL) control streamlining the hardware interface.
