New Paper: Nitrogen-vacancy color centers in nanodiamonds as reference single-photon emitters

Group PhD Nikesh Patel has just published a new work in Optics Express, in collaboration with colleagues at NPL. While NV-centres in nano-diamonds are well established as optically accessible quantum emitters, they're not all the same. By studying >1000 emitters at two different sites, Nikesh and co-authors established that some nanodiamonds are better than others as robust emission references, and this was used to calibrate between two differente systems.
