Emerging quantum technologies require precise control over quantum systems of\nincreasing complexity. Defects in diamond, particularly the negatively charged\nnitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, are a promising platform with the potential to\nenable technologies ranging from ultra-sensitive nanoscale quantum sensors, to\nquantum repeaters for long distance quantum networks, to simulators of complex\ndynamical processes in many-body quantum systems, to scalable quantum\ncomputers. While these advances are due in large part to the distinct material\nproperties of diamond, the uniqueness of this material also presents\ndifficulties, and there is a growing need for novel materials science\ntechniques for characterization, growth, defect control, and fabrication\ndedicated to realizing quantum applications with diamond. In this review we\nidentify and discuss the major materials science challenges and opportunities\nassociated with diamond quantum technologies.\n
