Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāThere has been rapidly growing interest in hybrid quantum devices involving a solid-state spin and a macroscopic mechanical oscillator. In such a hybrid device, phonons can both control and readout the spin systems as well as transduce quantum information between remote and even disparate quantum elements in a solid-state quantum network. In this talk, I present an all-diamond approach where a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center defect spin is embedded in a diamond nano optomechanical resonator. This system combines the excellent mechanical and optical qualities of diamond with the robust quantum coherence of the NV center. I will present initial experimental results on the coupling of spin, mechanical, and optical degrees of freedom that show the potential to realize a variety of novel, quantum-enabled tasks including scalable quantum communication protocols and spin squeezing.
