1. A method for sensing quantum mechanical spin states associated with a plurality of color centers in a room-temperature bulk crystalline material, the method comprising:

  • (A) coupling an electromagnetic beam into the room-temperature bulk crystalline material along a propagation path within the room-temperature bulk crystalline material so as to cause the electromagnetic beam to excite the plurality of color centers, the propagation path including a plurality of reflections off surfaces of the room-temperature bulk crystalline material, the plurality of reflections being at one or more angles with respect to the surfaces of the room-temperature bulk crystalline material;

    (B) detecting, with at least one detector, electromagnetic radiation emitted and/or transmitted by the plurality of color centers in response to excitation of the plurality of color centers in (A); and

    (C) determining, from the electromagnetic radiation detected in (B), the quantum mechanical spin states of the plurality of color centers.
