Research into hybrid quantum systems is of great interest for quantum information processing; however, a key challenge is finding a controlled interface between a superconducting circuit and a lone solid-state qubit. The authors design a coherent quantum interface between a microwave cavity and a single nitrogen-vacancy center in a mechanical resonator made of diamond. Here the coupling between the quantized motion of the diamond beam and the cavity photons is due to dielectric interaction, not the traditional capacitive coupling, and is scalable to large arrays of resonators for e.g. a memory chip.
