Title: Photon-mediated interactions between quantum emitters in a diamond nanocavity

Abstract

Photon-mediated interactions between quantum systems are essential for realizing quantum networks and scalable quantum information processing. We demonstrate such interactions between pairs of silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers coupled to a diamond nanophotonic cavity. When the optical transitions of the two color centers are tuned into resonance, the coupling to the common cavity mode results in a coherent interaction between them, leading to spectrally-resolved superradiant and subradiant states. We use the electronic spin degrees of freedom of the SiV centers to control these optically-mediated interactions. Such controlled interactions will be crucial in developing cavity-mediated quantum gates between spin qubits and for realizing scalable quantum network nodes.

(B) Scanning electron micrograph of a diamond nanophotonic cavity. (C) Transmission spectrum of the coupled SiV-cavity system (blue). The broad Lorentzian response of an empty cavity (dashed) is modulatedmore » by SiVs coupled to the cavity. Near the cavity resonance (lower panel), two SiVs each result in greater than 95% extinction in transmission and are broadened by the Purcell effect ($\Gamma$ (Δ = 0) = 2$π$ x 4.6 GHz). (D) Far detuned from the cavity resonance (Δ = 2$π$ x 79 GHz~2k), individual SiVs appear as narrow peaks in transmission ($\Gamma$ (Δ) = 2$π$ x 0.5 GHz). The solid lines in (D) and the lower panel of (C) are fits to a model.« less
