Abstract

We show coupling of an SnV center to a diamond waveguide of 20% with almost transform-limited optical transitions. Besides, we show control over the SnV spin qubit and extend its coherence to over a millisecond.

While the tin-vacancy center in diamond (SnV) has demonstrated excellent optical properties [1], spin control has remained elusive. We demonstrate multi-axis control of the SnV spin via an all-optical drive, and use this to demonstrate T2 = 0.30(8) ms.

Group-IV color centers in diamond are a promising light-matter interface for quantum networking devices.The negatively charged tin-vacancy center (SnV) is particularly interesting, as its large spin-orbit coupling offers strong protection against phonon dephasing and robust cyclicity of its optical transitions toward spin-photon-entanglement schemes.Here, we demonstrate multiaxis coherent control of the SnV spin qubit via an all-optical stimulated Raman drive between the ground and excited states.We use coherent population trapping and optically driven electronic spin resonance to confirm coherent access to the qubit at 1.7 K and obtain spin Rabi oscillations at a rate of Ω=2π ¼ 19.0ð1Þ MHz.All-optical Ramsey interferometry reveals a spin dephasing time of T Ã 2 ¼ 1.3ð3Þ μs, and four-pulse dynamical decoupling already extends the spin-coherence time to T 2 ¼ 0.30ð8Þ ms.Combined with transform-limited photons and integration into photonic nanostructures, our results make the SnV a competitive spin-photon building block for quantum networks.

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.

Microwave Control of the Tin-Vacancy Spin Qubit in Diamond with a Superconducting Waveguide

Group-IV color centers in diamond are promising candidates for quantum networks due to their dominant zero-phonon line and symmetry-protected optical transitions that connect to coherent spin levels. The negatively charged tin-vacancy (SnV) center possesses long electron spin lifetimes due to its large spin-orbit splitting. However, the magnetic dipole transitions required for microwave spin control are suppressed, and strain is necessary to enable these transitions. Recent work has shown spin control of strained emitters using microwave lines that suffer from Ohmic losses, restricting coherence through heating. We utilize a superconducting coplanar waveguide to measure SnV centers subjected to strain, observing substantial improvement. A detailed analysis of the SnV center electron spin Hamiltonian based on the angle-dependent splitting of the ground and excited states is performed. We demonstrate coherent spin manipulation and obtain a Hahn echo coherence time of up to T 2 = 430 μ s . With dynamical decoupling, we can prolong coherence to T 2 = 10 ms , about a sixfold improvement compared to earlier works. We also observe a nearby coupling C 13 spin, which may serve as a quantum memory, thus substantiating the potential of SnV centers in diamond and demonstrates the benefit of superconducting microwave structures.
