TL;DR: The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) colour centre in diamond is an important physical system for emergent quantum technologies, including quantum metrology, information processing and communications, as well as for various nanotechnologies such as biological and sub-diffraction limit imaging, and for tests of entanglement in quantum mechanics as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a model of the electronic structure and the associated dynamics of the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond was presented for the occurrence of optically induced spin polarization, for the change of emission level with spin polarization and for new experimental measurements of transient emission.

TL;DR: The demonstration of light storage for times greater than a second in praseodymium doped Y2SiO5 using electromagnetically induced transparency is reported, allowing easy separation of the two beams.

TL;DR: The optical and spin resonances of the NV- center are observed under hydrostatic pressures up to 60 GPa and motivate powerful new techniques to measure pressure and image high-pressure magnetic and electric phenomena.
