Abstract

Use of strain on a tin-vacancy defect in diamond allows for magnetic-field interactions that in turn enable microwave control over its spin, a key step for using such defects to encode quantum information.

Group-IV color centers in diamond are promising candidates for quantum networks due to their dominant zero-phonon line and symmetry-protected optical transitions that connect to coherent spin levels. The negatively charged tin-vacancy (SnV) center possesses long electron spin lifetimes due to its large spin-orbit splitting. However, the magnetic dipole transitions required for microwave spin control are suppressed, and strain is necessary to enable these transitions. Recent work has shown spin control of strained emitters using microwave lines that suffer from Ohmic losses, restricting coherence through heating. We utilize a superconducting coplanar waveguide to measure SnV centers subjected to strain, observing substantial improvement. A detailed analysis of the SnV center electron spin Hamiltonian based on the angle-dependent splitting of the ground and excited states is performed. We demonstrate coherent spin manipulation and obtain a Hahn echo coherence time of up to T 2 = 430 μ s . With dynamical decoupling, we can prolong coherence to T 2 = 10 ms , about a sixfold improvement compared to earlier works. We also observe a nearby coupling C 13 spin, which may serve as a quantum memory, thus substantiating the potential of SnV centers in diamond and demonstrates the benefit of superconducting microwave structures.

Novel solid-state qubits have a lot to offer for quantum information processing because of the potential simplicity of engineering quantum computational hardware similar to modern silicon-based electronics. This work presents optical and electron-spin properties of a novel germanium-vacancy defect in diamond. The defect center combines high brightness and exceptional spectral stability with microwave and optical access to electron spin. The combination of a spin-\textonehalf{} qubit and an optical interface makes possible of the germanium-vacancy defect in scalable quantum networks.

While the tin-vacancy center in diamond (SnV) has demonstrated excellent optical properties [1], spin control has remained elusive. We demonstrate multi-axis control of the SnV spin via an all-optical drive, and use this to demonstrate T2 = 0.30(8) ms.
