1. A system comprising:

  • a plurality of diamond nanowires disposed on the surface of a diamond substrate that includes a plurality of color centers, at least some of the nanowires formed in the substrate with portions of the surface of the substrate selectively removed in a region including at least one color center to include a color center in at least some of the nanowires;

    a light source configured to illuminate at least one of the plurality of nanowires with excitation light at a wavelength corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the color center included in the illuminated nanowire; and

    an optical receiver configured to receive a fluorescence emitted from the color center included in the illuminated nanowire in response to the excitation light.
