Dataset for Ambiguous Resonances in Multipulse Quantum Sensing with NVs

This dataset contains simulations for ambiguous resonances present in XY8-M dynamical decoupling multipulse sequences with nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamonds. Over 10⁴ combinations of experimental parameters as the order M, magnetic field B₀, misalignment angle θ and ¹³C families are considered for ambiguous resonances arising from ¹⁵N and ¹³C nuclear spins coupled to NVs. For a detailed discussion about the physics of these ambiguous resonances please refer to the Arxiv paper at the related materials.<br>For efficient storage and quick retrieval, the dataset is provided as an HDF5 file (dataset.h5), which can be accessed independently or via the graphical user interface (GUI) here provided (dataset_gui.py). Both of the files should be downloaded and stored in the same folder. The GUI is based on the Python bindings for Qt6, with dependencies on NumPy, Matplotlib, PyQt6/PySide6, HDF5 and PyTables packages. Thus, we recommend creating a conda virtual environment with:<b>conda create --name dataset-env python</b><b>conda activate dataset-env</b><b>conda install numpy matplotlib pyside6 pytables</b>To launch the GUI, one can simply run the following command in the cloned repository within the conda environment:<b>python dataset_gui.py</b>This will launch the GUI with the standard HDF5 file. However, if the user wants to have a different dataset file or paht, the --dataset flag can be used as follows:<b>python dataset-gui.py --dataset /PATH/CUSTOM_DATASET.hdf5</b>The use of the GUI is intuitive and self-explanatory. There are two tabs, one for ¹⁵N and the other for ¹³C ambiguous resonances. The m_s state of the electronic spin transition needs to be chosen, with the order M of the XY8 sequence, the bias magnetic field B₀, minimum and maximum tau or f range. In addition, for ¹⁵N, the misalignment angle θ must be specified and for ¹³C, the carbon family. The expected resonances from the gyromagnetic ratios of other nuclear spins can also be compared with. A text file with experimental data can be plotted together with the simulation for spectral disambiguation, with the conditions that it can be read by numpy.loadtxt and its first column representing τ or f in the correct units and the second indicating the XY8 intensity. Finally, the plot can be customized and exported. New simulations for ambiguous resonances will be continuously added to the dataset. Depending on user feedback, the GUI might also undergo alterations.Dataset: version 1.0.GUI: version 1.0.
