Summary:

PREFERRED. Cappellaro pioneered quantum magnetic sensing with electronic spin defects (NV centers) in diamond, and her group designs and controls solid-state spin qubit systems for quantum sensing, simulation, and quantum information processing, combining theoretical insight into spin dynamics with experimental control of dynamical decoupling and nuclear-spin registers for nanoscale NMR. This builds on the broader lineage of NV ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) that has pushed AC/DC magnetic sensitivities toward the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime, which her group's Hamiltonian-engineering and nuclear-spin-register approaches aim to extend further.
