Abstract
An apparatus comprising: a crystal; and a colour centre located within the crystal and adapted to receive: a magnetic field, such that a projection of the magnetic field onto a colour centre axis of the colour centre causes a change in an electron spin resonance frequency of the colour centre, and an electromagnetic signal having a frequency that substantially matches the electron spin resonance frequency of the colour centre as changed by the projection of the magnetic field onto the colour centre axis.
