  Coherent manipulation of nuclear spins is a highly desirable tool for both
quantum metrology and quantum computation. However, most of the current
techniques to control nuclear spins lack of being fast impairing their
robustness against decoherence. Here, based on Stimulated Raman Adiabatic
Passage, and its modification including shortcuts to adiabaticity, we present a
fast protocol for the coherent manipulation of nuclear spins. Moreover, we show
how to initialise a nuclear spin starting from a thermal state, and how to
implement Raman control for performing Ramsey spectroscopy to measure the
dynamical and geometric phases acquired by nuclear spins.
