Abstract

We present a nano-electromechanical platform for controlling optical transitions from spatially separated color centers in diamond waveguides. We use this technology to greatly suppress spectral diffusion and demonstrate strain induced quantum interference between separate emitters.

Quantum Interference of Electromechanically Stabilized Emitters in Nanophotonic Devices

Bartholomeus Machielse, Stefan Bogdanović, Srujan Meesala +15 more

Photon-mediated coupling between distant matter qubits may enable secure communication over long distances, the implementation of distributed quantum computing schemes, and the exploration of new regimes of many-body quantum dynamics. Solid-state quantum emitters coupled to nanophotonic devices represent a promising approach towards these goals, as they combine strong lightmatter interaction and high photon collection efficiencies. However, nanostructured environments introduce mismatch and diffusion in optical transition frequencies of emitters, making reliable photonmediated entanglement generation infeasible. Here we address this long-standing challenge by employing silicon-vacancy color centers embedded in electromechanically deflectable nanophotonic waveguides. This electromechanical strain control enables control and stabilization of optical resonance between two silicon-vacancy centers on the hour timescale. Using this platform, we observe the signature of an entangled, superradiant state arising from quantum interference between two spatially separated emitters in a waveguide. This demonstration and the developed platform constitute a crucial step towards a scalable quantum network with solid-state quantum emitters.

We integrate silicon-vacancy color centers into diamond nanophotonic devices. Using this platform, we demonstrate a quantum-optical switch controlled by a single color center and entanglement generation between two emitters in a single nanophotonic device.

An integrated diamond nanophotonics platform for quantum-optical networks

Alp Sipahigil, Ruffin E. Evans, Денис Дмитриевич Сукачев +13 more

Efficient interfaces between photons and quantum emitters form the basis for quantum networks and enable optical nonlinearities at the single-photon level. We demonstrate an integrated platform for scalable quantum nanophotonics based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers coupled to diamond nanodevices. By placing SiV centers inside diamond photonic crystal cavities, we realize a quantum-optical switch controlled by a single color center. We control the switch using SiV metastable states and observe optical switching at the single-photon level. Raman transitions are used to realize a single-photon source with a tunable frequency and bandwidth in a diamond waveguide. By measuring intensity correlations of indistinguishable Raman photons emitted into a single waveguide, we observe a quantum interference effect resulting from the superradiant emission of two entangled SiV centers.
