Solid-state defects in diamond and silicon carbide have emerged as a promising platform for exploring various quantum technologies, such as distributed quantum computing, quantum simulations of many-body physics, and nano-scale nuclear magnetic resonance. The noise environment surrounding such defects, consisting of magnetic and electrical impurities, directly impacts the spin and optical coherence, posing a key challenge for advancing quantum technologies. Systematic study of these spins and charges is crucial for mitigating their noise contribution. In some cases, establishing control over the environment can even convert it into a resource, to be used for storing, or processing (quantum) information. In this thesis, we develop experimental and analytical tools that enable a more detailed study of the defect spin and charge environment, and can be exploited to manipulate its microscopic configuration.
