State of the art quantum sensing experiments targeting frequency measurements or frequency addressing of nuclear spins require to drive the probe system at the targeted frequency. In addition, there is a substantial advantage to perform these experiments in the regime of high magnetic fields, in which the Larmor frequency of the measured spins is large. In this scenario we are confronted with a natural challenge of controlling a system with a very high frequency that cannot be set to resonance with the controller. In this contribution we present a set of protocols that are capable of confronting this challenge, even at large frequency mismatches, both for polarisation and for quantum sensing.
