Coupling Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond to Superconducting Flux Qubits

D. Marcos, Martijn Wubs, Jacob M. Taylor +3 more

We propose a method to achieve coherent coupling between nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond and superconducting (SC) flux qubits. The resulting coupling can be used to create a coherent interaction between the spin states of distant NV centers mediated by the flux qubit. Furthermore, the magnetic coupling can be used to achieve a coherent transfer of quantum information between the flux qubit and an ensemble of NV centers. This enables a long-term memory for a SC quantum processor and possibly an interface between SC qubits and light.

Properties of hybrid entanglement among two flux qubits and a nitrogen-vacancy-center ensemble

Qinghong Liao, Lin Chen, Xin Liu +1 more

Abstract We investigate hybrid flux-nitrogen-vacancy (NV) entanglement in the system consisting of two flux qubits and an NV-center ensemble (NVE). The influence of the initial entanglement degree of the flux qubit C, the coupling strength between two flux qubits, the coupling strength between the flux qubit M and the NVE on the bipartite entanglement and the tripartite entanglement is discussed. The maximally bipartite entangled state and the maximally tripartite entangled state can be obtained under certain conditions. In addition, it is shown that the time of disentanglement of the hybrid quantum system can be controlled by adjusting the coupling strength between two flux qubits and the coupling strength between the flux qubit M and the NVE.

Single-nitrogen-vacancy-center quantum memory for a superconducting flux qubit mediated by a ferromagnet

Yen-Yu Lai, Guin-Dar Lin, Jason Twamley +1 more

We propose a quantum memory scheme to transfer and store the quantum state of a superconducting flux qubit (FQ) into the electron spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond via yttrium iron garnet (YIG), a ferromagnet. Unlike an ensemble of NV centers, the YIG moderator can enhance the effective FQ-NV-center coupling strength without introducing additional appreciable decoherence. We derive the effective interaction between the FQ and the NV center by tracing out the degrees of freedom of the collective mode of the YIG spins. We demonstrate the transfer, storage, and retrieval procedures, taking into account the effects of spontaneous decay and pure dephasing. Using realistic experimental parameters for the FQ, NV center and YIG, we find that a combined transfer, storage, and retrieval fidelity higher than 0.9, with a long storage time of 10 ms, can be achieved. This hybrid system not only acts as a promising quantum memory, but also provides an example of enhanced coupling between various systems through collective degrees of freedom.
