Perfect diamond is transparent for visible light but there are famous diamonds, such
as the famous Oppenheim Blue
or the Pink Panther worth tens
of millions of dollar,
which have intense colour. An important source of colour in diamond are lattice defects
which emit and absorb light at optical frequencies and may indeed possess a non-vanishing ground state electronic spin. I will explore the physics of one of these defects,
the nitrogen vacancy center, and show how we can manipulate its electronic spin and
make use of
this capability to create quantum simulators, quantum sensors and
perhaps surprisingly applications in medical imaging that may, we hope, find
applications for example in cancer research and treatment.
