Abstract This study is conducted to establish a reliable simulation model for investigating the impact of microwave pulses on the performance of an ensemble nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center system, thereby providing a basis for optimizing microwave parameters and enhancing quantum sensing performance. The simulation of ensemble NV centers is realized through the design of “Single NV Center Module” + “Ensemble Control Module”. Verified by optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), Ramsey, and Hahn echo experiments, the program can accurately reproduce the core characteristics of the experiments, confirming the reliability of the model. Using this model to study the influence of microwave spatial inhomogeneity on system performance, it was found that when θ (the range of microwave axial distribution) is 90∘, the sensitivity of the Hahn echo decreases by 3.6 times, and when the amplitude gradient is 50 μT/mm, the sensitivity decreases by 1.8 times, providing quantitative support for optimizing microwave parameters.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
