Abstract Apart from being an extraordinary optical and electronic material, diamond has also found applications in quantum mechanics especially in quantum sensing with the discovery and research development of various color centers. Elastic strain engineering (ESE), as a powerful modulation method, can tune the quantum properties and improve the performance of diamond quantum sensors. In recent years, deep ESE (DESE, when >5% elastic strain, or > σ ideal /2 is achieved) has been realized in micro/nano-fabricated diamond and shows a great potential for tuning the quantum mechanical properties of diamond substantially. In this perspective, we briefly review the quantum properties of diamond and some of the corresponding sensing applications carried out with ESE, and look at how DESE could be applied for further tuning the quantum sensing properties of diamond with desired applications and what the critical challenges are.
