Abstract

We demonstrate a scalable quantum information processing architecture consisting of a planar array of tin-vacancy (SnV) centers, tunable across a thousand diamond cavities integrated on a control chip based on a commercial foundry process.

A scalable cavity-based spin–photon interface in a photonic integrated circuit

Kevin C. Chen, Ian Christen, Hamza Raniwala +10 more

A central challenge in quantum networking is transferring quantum states between different physical modalities, such as between flying photonic qubits and stationary quantum memories. One implementation entails using spin–photon interfaces that combine solid-state spin qubits, such as color centers in diamond, with photonic nanostructures. However, while high-fidelity spin–photon interactions have been demonstrated on isolated devices, building practical quantum repeaters requires scaling to large numbers of interfaces yet to be realized. Here, we demonstrate integration of nanophotonic cavities containing tin-vacancy (SnV) centers in a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). Out of a six-channel quantum microchiplet (QMC), we find four coupled SnV-cavity devices with an average Purcell factor of ∼7. Based on system analyses and numerical simulations, we find with near-term improvements this multiplexed architecture can enable high-fidelity quantum state transfer, paving the way toward building large-scale quantum repeaters.

Quantum Photonics with SnV Centers in Diamond

Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi, Jelena Vuckovic A

In this presentation, we will discuss our recent efforts on realizing a quantum photonic platform for diamond color centers. In particular, we demonstrate integration of tin-vacancy (SnV) spin qubits in diamond to optical waveguides, cavities, and nanopillars. We show that SnV centers created using our recent technique based on shallow ion implantation and overgrowth maintain their quality when placed in nanostructures.

Heterogeneous integration of spin-photon interfaces with a scalable CMOS platform

Linsen Li, Lorenzo De Santis, Isaac Harris +14 more

Color centers in diamonds have emerged as a leading solid-state platform for advancing quantum technologies, satisfying the DiVincenzo criteria and recently achieving a quantum advantage in secret key distribution. Recent theoretical works estimate that general-purpose quantum computing using local quantum communication networks will require millions of physical qubits to encode thousands of logical qubits, which presents a substantial challenge to the hardware architecture at this scale. To address the unanswered scaling problem, in this work, we first introduce a scalable hardware modular architecture "Quantum System-on-Chip" (QSoC) that features compact two-dimensional arrays "quantum microchiplets" (QMCs) containing tin-vacancy (SnV-) spin qubits integrated on a cryogenic application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). We demonstrate crucial architectural subcomponents, including (1) QSoC fabrication via a lock-and-release method for large-scale heterogeneous integration; (2) a high-throughput calibration of the QSoC for spin qubit spectral inhomogenous registration; (3) spin qubit spectral tuning functionality for inhomogenous compensation; (4) efficient spin-state preparation and measurement for improved spin and optical properties. QSoC architecture supports full connectivity for quantum memory arrays in a set of different resonant frequencies and offers the possibility for further scaling the number of solid-state physical qubits via larger and denser QMC arrays and optical frequency multiplexing networking.
