We propose a protocol that achieves arbitrary N-qubit interactions between\nnuclear spins and that can measure directly nuclear many-body correlators by\nappropriately making the nuclear spins interact with a nitrogen vacancy (NV)\ncenter electron spin. The method takes advantage of recently introduced\ndynamical decoupling techniques and demonstrates that action on the electron\nspin is sufficient to fully exploit nuclear spins as robust quantum registers.\nOur protocol is general, being applicable to other nuclear spin based platforms\nwith electronic spin defects acting as mediators as the case of silicon\ncarbide.\n
