Dynamic Polarization of Single Nuclear Spins by Optical Pumping of Nitrogen-Vacancy Color Centers in Diamond at Room Temperature

V. Jacques, Philipp Neumann, Johannes Beck +7 more

We report a versatile method to polarize single nuclear spins in diamond, based on optical pumping of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect and mediated by a level anticrossing in its excited state. A nuclear-spin polarization higher than 98% is achieved at room temperature for the 15N nuclear spin associated with the NV center, corresponding to microK effective nuclear-spin temperature. We then show simultaneous initialization of two nuclear spins in the vicinity of a NV defect. Such robust control of nuclear-spin states is a key ingredient for further scaling up of nuclear-spin based quantum registers in diamond.

Combined optical and microwave approach for performing quantum spin operations on the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond

Forrest T. Charnock, Thomas A. Kennedy

Electron spin echoes were performed on nitrogen-vacancy $(\mathrm{N}\ensuremath{-}V)$ centers in diamond using optical polarization and detection and 35 GHz microwave control. The experiments demonstrate an approach to quantum information in the solid state. A phase memory time of $3.6 \ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$ was measured, and coupling of the electronic spin to the ${}^{14}\mathrm{N}$ nuclear spin was observed. Because of the favorable properties of the $\mathrm{N}\ensuremath{-}V$ center, interesting extensions of these single-qubit operations can be proposed.
