Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond display remarkable features such as optical polarizability and the read-out of their state at room temperature. Sensitivity to temperature and electric and magnetic fields enables their application for quantum sensing. Unexpected noise sources and long-term drifts of the driving magnetic field strength affect its interaction with the qubit. Long pulse schemes for quantum state preparation are not always suitable due to limited lifetimes. Hence, we designed optimally controlled pulses to drive the nitrogen vacancy center to a target state with robustness against frequency detuning within the transfer time of a standard square pulse. This can be achieved by a time-dependent variation of the applied pulse amplitude. Simulations showed further improvement in robustness for simultaneous carrier frequency modulation. As a next step, closed-loop optimization could be performed, where the simulated model is replaced by direct measurements on the NV center in the laboratory. Therefore, the remote dressed chopped random basis algorithm software (RedCRAB) is included in Qudi, a software suite for experiment control.
