13C nuclear spins in diamond are the predominant source of decoherence for
electron spin qubits such as the NV center [1] or ST1 [2] defect. At the
same time, they are a valuable resource for the implementation of nuclear spin
quantum registers [3]. Addressing distant and thus weakly coupled bath spins would enable us to scale up nuclear spin registers to sizes relevant
to small scale quantum algorithms such as stabilizer codes that are particularly relevant to quantum repeaters. In here we show
that dynamical decoupling techniques can be used to detect a single 13C nuclear
spin that is coupled to an NV center with a dipole coupling strength as weak as
400 Hz. We discuss protocols for initializing and coherently controlling such
weakly coupled bath spins.
