An integrated route to quantum detection The quantum properties of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center defect in diamond are being pursued as building blocks for quantum-enhanced technologies. Addressing and manipulating the defects, however, typically requires bulk optics, which could limit scalability. Siyushev et al. developed an on-chip technique in which the NV center is detected optoelectronically. Such a detection and manipulation method offers a route to develop an integrated platform for scalable quantum-based sensing technologies. Science , this issue p. 728
