Description

This conference contribution presents an educational concept designed to facilitate understanding of the physical principles underlying a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center magnetometer setup. This concept is strongly based on an experimental setup to profit from the quantum application perspective. Additional experiments are incorporated to provide further insights into key related concepts, such like energy level schemes, fluorescence, and electron spin. With this approach, we aim to engage students in schools, student academies, and student laboratories.
