Building Interacting Quantum Systems in the Solid State

I am a physics graduate student in Ania Jayich’s lab working on various ways to engineer ensembles of spin systems in diamond (or on diamond surfaces) for the purpose of studying interesting many-body physics in solid state systems. The talk will summarize two different approaches taken in our lab. First, I will talk about work towards developing a method to deposit different species of spins onto the diamond surface with the goal of using NV centers just below the diamond surface as a non-invasive probe of their dynamics. Second, I will talk about our work on building nitrogen and NV spin ensembles of tunable dimensionality and density via diamond growth, and the resulting dynamics we aim to measure.
