Isolated nuclear spins provide a promising building block for quantum information science, motivating development of techniques to characterize, control, and detect them in suitable systems. Working with the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, we demonstrate robust initialization, manipulation, and readout of individual ^13C, ^15N, and ^14N nuclear spins and identify a mechanism to extend our results to arbitrary magnetic field environments. These techniques enable precise characterization of nuclear-spin hyperfine parameters and coherence properties and may pave the way for nuclear-spin-based quantum information architectures in diamond.
