Abstract

This chapter covers recent developments in the field of hybrid quantum photonics based on color centers in nanodiamonds and $$\textrm{Si}_3\textrm{N}_4$$ -photonics towards a technology platform with applications in quantum information processing and quantum information distribution. The methodological approach can be divided in three main tasks. First, the fabrication and optimization of $$\textrm{Si}_3\textrm{N}_4$$ -photonics. Second, the creation, characterization and control of color centers in nanodiamondsNanodiamonds. Third, the assembly of hybrid quantum photonics by integrating the nanodiamondsNanodiamonds into the photonic structures. One focus will be the efficient interfacing of the color centers done by optimizing the optical coupling. The chapter describes recent progress in all three steps and summarizes the established hybrid platform. We believe, that the hybrid approach provides a promising path to realize quantum photonic applications, such as quantum networks or quantum repeaters, in the near future.

Hybrid quantum nanophotonic devices with color centers in nanodiamonds [Invited]

Swetapadma Sahoo, Валерий Александрович Давыдов, V. Agafonov +1 more

Optically active color centers in nanodiamonds offer unique opportunities for generating and manipulating quantum states of light. These mechanically, chemically, and optically robust emitters can be produced in mass quantities, deterministically manipulated, and integrated with a variety of quantum device geometries and photonic material platforms. Nanodiamonds with deeply sub-wavelength sizes coupled to nanophotonic structures feature a giant enhancement of light-matter interaction, promising high bitrates in quantum photonic systems. We review the recent advances in controlled techniques for synthesizing, selecting, and manipulating nanodiamond-based color centers for their integration with quantum nanophotonic devices.

Quantum nanophotonics in diamond [Invited]

The past two decades have seen great advances in developing color centers in diamond for sensing, quantum information processing, and tests of quantum foundations. Increasingly, the success of these applications as well as fundamental investigations of light–matter interaction depend on improved control of optical interactions with color centers—from better fluorescence collection to efficient and precise coupling with confined single optical modes. Wide ranging research efforts have been undertaken to address these demands through advanced nanofabrication of diamond. This review will cover recent advances in diamond nano- and microphotonic structures for efficient light collection, color center to nanocavity coupling, hybrid integration of diamond devices with other material systems, and the wide range of fabrication methods that have enabled these complex photonic diamond systems.

Nanoassembled quantum photonic devices with nanodiamond-based color centers

Simeon Bogdanov, Oksana Makarova, Ilya A. Rodionov +2 more

Color centers in nanodiamonds are promising candidates to realize high-bandwidth quantum optical devices integrated on mature photonic platforms. However, both the optical properties of these emitters and the geometries of host nanoparticles are highly heterogenous. The interfacing of nanodiamond-based color centers with the on-chip photonic circuitry requires their careful pre-selection and deterministic manipulation with nanoscale precision. We present a suite of recently developed techniques for rapid emitter selection and nanofabrication aimed at realizing deterministically assembled plasmon-enhanced single-photon sources. These techniques include optical nanoparticle metrology, machine learning for quantum optical measurements, probe-assisted nanoantenna assembly and the control of plasmonic cavity volume through photomodification.

Towards tunable color centers in nanodiamonds coupled to integrated optics

Roy Philip George Konnoth Ancel, Surena Fatemi, Régis Déturche +1 more

We propose to couple single photons, generated by a germanium vacancy (GeV) / Silicon Vacancy (SiV) center located within one nanodiamond-ND, to other GeV centers in other nanodiamonds. We will then have a hybrid quantum photonic platform made of color centers that act as stationary matter qubits and single photons that act as flying qubits, connecting nodes together. Our initial attempt will be focused on establishing a two-node network and then look towards scaling up to a multiple node quantum network. To this extent, we shall study the spectral as well as correlation properties of group IV color centers embedded in nanodiamonds to choose suitable candidates for the proposed two node quantum network. We will elaborate on the process as well as applications of the proposed device in the context of quantum communication and networks. We will also look into the study the interaction of a magnetic ion with color centers in bulk diamond.
