Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is one of the most promising systems for quantum information processing.
NV centers are also excellent sensors for detecting weak signals. In
this talk, I will first discuss the microscopic decoherence mechanisms
of NV center electron spins. Based on the decoherence mechanisms, I will
talk about recent progress on single-molecule nuclear magnetic
resonance using NV centers and other applications of NV centers in
sensing weak signals.
