Coherent Population Trapping of a Single Nuclear Spin Under Ambient Conditions

Author(s): P. Jamonneau, G. Hétet, A. Dréau, J.-F. Roch, and V. Jacques

A dark state – a state that cannot emit or absorb photons – can be created by the hyperfine coupling of the electron spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy defect to a nearby ${}^{13}$C nuclear spin.
