Abstract

We present high single-photon collection rates into a bus waveguide from a nitrogen-vacancy center coupled to an integrated disk resonator. The resonator is built on a gallium phosphide (GaP)-on-diamond chip alongside passive photonic devices.

Large-scale GaP-on-diamond integrated photonics platform for NV center-based quantum information

We present chip-scale transmission measurements for three key components of a gallium-phosphide (GaP)-on-diamond integrated photonics platform: waveguide-coupled disk resonators, directional couplers, and grating couplers. We also present proof-of-principle measurements demonstrating nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center-emission coupled into selected devices. The demonstrated device performance, uniformity, and yield place the platform in a strong position to realize measurement-based quantum information protocols utilizing the NV center in diamond.

Quantum photonic devices in single-crystal diamond

Andrei Faraon, Charles Santori, Zhihong Huang +4 more

Nitrogen–vacancy centers in diamond have outstanding quantum optical properties that enable applications in information processing and sensing. As with most solid-state systems for quantum photonic applications, the great promise lies in the capability to embed them in an on-chip optical network. Here we present basic integrated devices composed of diamond micro-ring resonators coupled to waveguides that are terminated with grating out-couplers. Strong enhancement is observed for the zero-phonon line of nitrogen–vacancy centers coupled to the ring resonance. The zero-phonon line is efficiently coupled from the ring into the waveguide and then scattered out of plane by the grating out-couplers.

Efficient Extraction of Zero-Phonon-Line Photons from Single Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in an Integrated GaP-on-Diamond Platform

Michael Gould, Emma Schmidgall, Shabnam Dadgostar +2 more

Realizing a scalable quantum network based on defects in diamond is impeded by the difficulty of collecting the photons that are useful for generating spin-spin entanglement. By integrating the diamond $N\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}V$ center with a single-mode waveguide in a $I\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}I\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}I-V$ semiconductor photonic circuit, the authors achieve photon collection rates above the theoretical limit for free-space, nonresonant collection. This performance meets or exceeds that of all-diamond photonic circuits, and along with the scale of integration shows the potential of this hybrid platform for quantum information processing.
