Dynamical nuclear polarisation (DNP) is an important technique that uses polarisation transfer from electron to nuclear spins to achieve nuclear hyperpolarisation. As the electron spin of the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres in diamond can be optically initialised nearly perfectly even at room temperature and ambient conditions, new opportunities become possible by the combination of efficient DNP with optically polarised NV centres. Among such applications are nanoscale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of liquids, hyperpolarised nanodiamonds as MRI contrast agents as well as the initialisation of nuclear spin based diamond quantum simulators. Current realisations of DNP perform the polarisation transfer by achieving energetic resonance between electrons and nuclei via carefully tuned microwave fields or by using quasi-adiabatic sweep-based schemes across resonance points. The former limits robustness against control errors while the latter limits polarisation rates, making the realisation of the applications extremely challenging. Here we introduce the concept of Hamiltonian engineering by pulse sequences and use it for the systematic design of polarisation sequences that are simultaneously robust and fast. We derive sequences theoretically and demonstrate experimentally that they are capable of efficient polarisation transfer from an optically polarised nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond to the surrounding ¹³C nuclear spin bath even in the presence of control errors, making it an ideal tool for the realisation of the above NV centre based applications.
