The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond allows room-temperature wide-field quantum magnetometry and metrology for a small volume, which is an important technology for applications in biology. Although coherence of the NV center has a limited frequency resolution of diamond magnetometry to 10-100 kHz, recent studies have shown that a phase sensitive protocol can beat the coherence limit on a confocal setup. Here, we report a new measurement protocol, "i Qdyne," for improving the frequency resolution of wide-field imaging beyond the coherence limit of the NV center. We demonstrate wide-field magnetometry with a frequency resolution of 238 mHz and a magnetic sensitivity of 65 nT/Hz 1/2 , which are superior to the conventional XY8-based technique, which paves the way to in vivo microscale nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. We find that the experimental performance of i Qdyne agrees well with that of an analytical model.The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center 1,2 composed of a substitutional nitrogen atom and a neighboring lattice vacancy has emerged as a breakthrough material for quantum sensing. 3-12 Wide-field magnetometry imaging with a high spatial resolution provided by optical accessibility of the NV center is of particular interest for biology applications. Previous reports on optical widefield imaging have demonstrated potentials of novel imaging techniques using the NV center in diamond, such as spin noise imaging, 13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, 14 electron spin resonance imaging, 15 and living cell imaging. 16,17 Furthermore, the quantum behavior under ambient condition has a possibility for the realization of single-cell scale NMR analysis using in vivo wide-field imaging.The application of diamond wide-field magnetometry is limited by its magnetic sensitivity and frequency resolution, both of which are limited by the coherence time of the NV center. The benchmark for biological applications is nanotesla sensitivity with subhertz resolution, which allows the observation of molecular structure identification from chemical shifts in NMR measurements. For an alternating current (AC) field sensing, the XY8based protocol with a coherence time (T 2 ) of the order of microseconds achieves a typical frequency resolution of around 10-100 kHz and a sensitivity of around 100 nT/Hz 1/2 using shallow NV center ensemble. 18,19 Recently reported phase sensitive measurement protocol 20-22 "Qdyne" drastically enhances the frequency resolution and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) without limitation of the coherence time imposed by the NV center.For wide-field sensing, it is necessary to use a cameratype sensor, such as a charge-coupled device (CCD), a) Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: hatano.m.ab@m.titech.ac.jp which requires a long readout sequence compared with a high-speed detector such as an avalanche photo diode implemented for Qdyne in Schmitt et al. 20 . The detection time of an NV magnetometer is significantly shorter than the readout time; therefore, direct implementation of Qdyne leads...
