Directional dark matter detectors using diamond as a target material offer a novel solution to overcome solar neutrino backgrounds. Sub-micron damage tracks from nuclear recoils can be read out via advanced quantum sensing techniques with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. I will discuss recent advancements in strain-sensitive quantum interferometry that enable precise strain imaging, paving the way for directional particle detection. These developments highlight the potential of diamond-based detectors for advancing dark matter and neutrino physics, as well as material science applications.
