Quantum Photonic Interface for Tin-Vacancy Centers in Diamond
Abstract
The realization of quantum networks critically depends on establishing efficient, coherent light-matter interfaces. Optically active spins in diamond have emerged as promising quantum nodes based on their spin-selective optical transitions, long-lived spin ground states, and potential for integration with nanophotonics. Tin-vacancy (SnV–) centers in diamond are of particular interest because they exhibit narrow-linewidth emission in nanostructures and possess long spin coherence times at temperatures above 1 K. However, a nanophotonic interface for SnV– centers has not yet been realized. Here, we report cavity enhancement of the emission of SnV– centers in diamond. We integrate SnV– centers into one-dimensional photonic crystal resonators and observe a 40-fold increase in emission intensity. The Purcell factor of the coupled system is 25, resulting in a channeling of the majority of photons (90%) into the cavity mode. Our results pave the way for the creation of efficient, scalable spin-photon interfaces based on SnV– centers in diamond.
