| contents | Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond have emerged in recent years as leading quantum sensors in various modalities. Most applications benefit from shallow NVs, enabling higher sensitivity and resolution. However, near surface NVs ($<$ 20 nm depth) suffer from reduced stability and coherence properties due to additional noise. We demonstrate a novel surface termination technique based on nitrogen plasma under non-damaging conditions, achieving significant improvement in NV optical stability and quantum coherence. |
