“…Spatial information about the size of collective domains can be accessed by a change of the excitation region either via super-resolution techniques such as stimulated emission depletion spectroscopy [51,52] or via changes in the optical setup towards larger/smaller beam waists. The integration of NV centers into a photonic environment featuring the coupling to a single optical mode such as optical cavities [53] and waveguides [54][55][56][57][58] could allow observation and control of collective interaction on larger length-scales. Combining such devices with other established methods such as spin-to-charge conversion of NV centers [59] could enable further control of the collective emission direction and coupling in a collective system on the meso-scale.…”

Individual quantum emitters form a fundamental building block for emerging quantum technologies. Collective effects of such emitters might improve the performance of applications even further. When scaling materials to larger sizes, however, collective effects might be covered by transitions to bulk properties. Here, we probe the optical properties of Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in agglomerates of nanodiamonds. We quantify the transition from individual emitters to bulk emission by fluorescence lifetime measurements, and find a transition to occur on a length scale of ∼3 wavelengths around the emitter. While our lifetime measurements are consistent with superradiant decay, the second-order correlation function, which is a standard measure to reveal collective properties, fails to probe collective effects for our case of an ensemble of collectively contributing domains to the emission. Therefore, we propose and apply a new measure to trace collective effects based on the fluctuation statistics of the emitted light. Our work points toward systematically studying collective effects in a scalable solid-state quantum system, and using them for quantum optical applications in agglomerates of highly-doped nanodiamonds.

“…Furthermore, deterministic in-situ positioning of individual nanodiamonds in arrays of optical tweezers [35][36][37] will allow to tailor the mutual distance, and thereby to compare inter-crystal collective effects with the properties of individual nanodiamonds. The integration of NV centers into a photonic environment featuring the coupling to a single optical mode such as optical cavities [38] and waveguides [39][40][41][42][43] could allow observation and control of collective interaction on larger length-scales. Combining such devices with other established methods such as spin-to-charge conversion of NV centers [44] could enable further control of the collective emission direction and coupling in a collective system on the meso-scale.…”

“…[669] Excitingly, topological photonics with real quantum states can also be realized by introducing nanodiamonds with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in 3D TPL printing. [670] The field of TPL printing related topological photonics and BIC related photonics is still newborn, but rapidly growing with cutting-edge physical concepts. [671][672][673][674] It is expected that the burgeon of topological or BIC photonics will rely more on the TPL based fabrication techniques.…”
