Abstract

We here discuss the possibility of creating color centers for quantum information via incorporation of suitable defects during CVD (chemical vapor deposition) growth of diamond as well as coupling of color centers to fiber-based Fabry-Perot cavities.

A Germanium-Vacancy Single Photon Source in Diamond

Takayuki Iwasaki, Fumitaka Ishibashi, Yoshiyuki Miyamoto +13 more

Color centers in diamond are widely recognized as a promising solid state platform for quantum cryptography and quantum information processing. For these applications, single photon sources with a high intensity and reproducible fabrication methods are required. Here, we report a novel color center in diamond, composed of a germanium (Ge) and a vacancy (V) and named the GeV center, which has a sharp and strong photoluminescence band with a zero-phonon line at 602 nm at room temperature. We demonstrate this new color center works as a single photon source. Both ion implantation and chemical vapor deposition techniques enabled fabrication of GeV centers in diamond. A first-principles calculation revealed the atomic crystal structure and energy levels of the GeV center.

The technique for fabricating microcavities from diamond and other materials is described and their main parameters are reported. The possibilities of using color centers in diamond which interact with optical cavities as single-phonon sources and in quantum information processing are discussed. Several variants of integration of the color centers with high- Q cavities are considered.

Engineering diamond color centers for quantum information and sensing (Conference Presentation)

Philip Hemmer

The performance of diamond color centers for quantum information and sensing depends strongly on the quality of the material. Specifically, ultra-pure, low-strain diamond is preferred. However, in order to create color centers, non-carbon atoms must be incorporated into the lattice either by rapid growth or implantation. Both these techniques cause defects and lattice damage that degrades ultimate performance. To overcome these problems, we show a molecule-seeded growth technique that decouples the doping and growth processes. The result is near-deterministic creation of specific color centers in chemically pure, low-strain diamond. Data showing selective growth of H3 and NV centers will be presented, where the NV is used to verify that the crystals are low-strain. Future application to other color centers like silicon, germanium, and tin vacancies will be discussed. Also the possibility of direct growth of more complex quantum registers.
