With the advancement of the chip industry, accurate temperature measurement and thermal management have become crucial. Traditional infrared temperature imaging has limitations in terms of resolution and accuracy. ln recent years, quantum diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers have emerged as a promising option for temperature sensing, but separating temperature from magnetic field effects remains a challenge. This paper presents a numerical approach to decouple temperature and magnetic fields using an ensemble Hamiltonian in high-current density Integrated Circuit (IC) applications. The proposed method demonstrates a temperature sensitivity of 22.9 mK/Hz1/2 and the ability to perform scanning temperature imaging with a spatial resolution of 20 µm on a typical IC.

Background noise interferes with the accurate detection of early tumor biomarkers. This study introduces a method that effectively reduces background noise to enhance detection accuracy by combining a color-coded signaling approach with the unique fluorescent properties and room-temperature tunable quantum spin characteristics of fluorescent diamonds (FNDs) with nitrogen-vacancy centers. In this approach, a red signal indicates the presence of the target analyte within the spectral region, a green signal indicates its absence, and a yellow signal indicates the need for further analysis using FNDs' quantum spin properties for optical detection magnetic resonance (ODMR) to distinguish the FND signal from background noise.

Sensitive and accurate miRNA detection is important in cancer diagnosis but remains challenging owing to the essential features of miRNAs, such as their small size, high homology, and low abundance. This work proposes a novel electrochemical (EC)-enhanced quantum sensor achieving quantitative detection of miRNA-155 with simultaneous EC sensing. Specifically, fluorescent nanodiamonds/MXene nanocomposites were synthesized and modified with dual-mode signal labels, enabling miRNA-155 concentration measurement via relaxation time of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and EC signals.

Nuclear quadrupolar resonance (NQR) spectroscopy reveals chemical bonding patterns in materials and molecules through the unique coupling between nuclear spins and local fields. However, traditional NQR techniques require macroscopic ensembles of nuclei to yield a detectable signal, which obscures molecule-to-molecule variations. Solid-state spin qubits, such as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond, facilitate the detection and control of individual nuclei through their local magnetic couplings.
