Nanodiamonds carrying silicon-vacancy quantum emitters with almost lifetime-limited linewidths

Colour centres in nanodiamonds are an important resource for applications in quantum sensing, biological imaging, and quantum optics. Here we report unprecedented narrow optical transitions for individual colour centres in nanodiamonds smaller than 200 nm. This demonstration has been achieved using...
