contents Optically active solid-state spin systems play an important role in quantum technologies. We introduce a new readout scheme, termed Time to Space (T2S) encoding which decouples spin manipulation from optical readout both temporally and spatially. This is achieved by controlling the spin state within a region of interest, followed by rapid scanning of the optical readout position using an acousto-optic modulator. Time tracking allows the optical readout position to be encoded as a function of time. Using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center ensembles in diamond, we first demonstrate that the T2S scheme enables correlated experiments for efficient common mode noise cancellation in various nano- and microscale sensing scenarios. In the second example, we show highly scalable multi-pixel imaging that does not require a camera and has the potential to accelerate data acquisition by several hundred times compared to conventional scanning methods. We anticipate widespread adoption of this technique, as it requires no additional components beyond those commonly used in optically addressable spin systems.
