Abstract

Nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers in diamond exhibit unique quantum properties. On page 2806, Matthew R. Henderson and co‐workers describe integrated diamond nanocrystals containing NV centers with an optical medium, tellurite soft glass. The inside cover image shows an example of a confocal scan of an optical fiber drawn from this material, detecting the photoluminescence from NV centers, with a conceptual image of a scan in progress.
