Quantum Interference of Single Photons from Remote Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond

Alp Sipahigil, Michael Goldman, Emre Togan +6 more

We demonstrate quantum interference between indistinguishable photons emitted by two nitrogen-vacancy centers in distinct diamond samples separated by two meters. Macroscopic solid immersion lenses are used to enhance photon collection efficiency. Quantum interference is verified by measuring a value of the second-order cross-correlation function g((2))(0)=0.35±0.04<0.5. In addition, optical transition frequencies of two separated nitrogen-vacancy centers are tuned into resonance with each other by applying external electric fields. An extension of the present approach to generate entanglement of remote solid-state qubits is discussed.

Two-Photon Quantum Interference from Separate Nitrogen Vacancy Centers in Diamond

Hannes Bernien, Lilian Childress, Lucio Robledo +3 more

We report on the observation of quantum interference of the emission from two separate nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. Taking advantage of optically induced spin polarization in combination with polarization filtering, we isolate a single transition within the zero-phonon line of the nonresonantly excited NV centers. The time-resolved two-photon interference contrast of this filtered emission reaches 66%. Furthermore, we observe quantum interference from dissimilar NV centers tuned into resonance through the dc Stark effect. These results pave the way towards measurement-based entanglement between remote NV centers and the realization of quantum networks with solid-state spins.

Robust hyperparallel nonlocal operation assisted by diamond nitrogen-vacancy center coupled to a single-side optical microcavity

QianZhu XIE, Nishi Lu, Peiwen Huang +1 more

Remote implementation of nonlocal quantum gates between different nodes in quantum communication network plays an important role in distributed quantum computation. Compared to protocol for nonlocal implementation of quantum operation in one degree of freedom (DoF), the protocol for parallel remote implementation of nonlocal operations simultaneously in two DoFs has the advantage of having high channel capacity. Under the balance condition of diamond nitrogen-vacancy center coupled to a single-side optical microcavity, we present a protocol for remote implementation of robust hyperparallel nonlocal operation in polarization, time-bin DoFs. Alice and Bob let photons pass through the diamond nitrogen-vacancy center system successively, perform single-qubit measurement on the entangled photons and the electrons. The robust nonlocal CNOT operation can be simultaneously implemented by applying unitary operations in accordance with the measurement results. The protocol has the advantage of transmitting less entangled photons for remote implementation of nonlocal CNOT operations in two DoFs. Moreover, the protocol is more convenient in application since the noise in the protocol for hyperparallel nonlocal CNOT operation via diamond nitrogen-vacancy center can be efficiently depressed.
