State-dependent phonon-limited spin relaxation of nitrogen-vacancy centers

Understanding the limits to the spin coherence of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond is vital to realizing the full potential of this quantum system. We show that relaxation on the |m_{s}=−1〉↔|m_{s}=+1〉 transition occurs approximately twice as fast as relaxation on the |m_{s}=0〉↔|m_{s}=±1〉...
