Here, we predict a strong coherent coupling in the quantum regime between V[TCNE]x magnons [1,2] and spin coherent NV center levels. First, we calculate analytically the magnon dispersion and fringe field and obtain a NV spin-magnon coupling strength of 8.7 kHz for a disk of diameter 1 μm. Secondly, we derive an analytical expression for the cooperativity as a function of NV center position for a general magnetic disk on top of the diamond substrate. Using realistic coherence times of both NV centers and V[TCNE]x magnons, we predict cooperativity C ā‰ˆ 6 for NV centers placed within a wide spatial region. Thus our proposal provides an avenue for coupling between NV centers separated by ā‰ˆ1 μm.
