| description | <p>Quantum computation and information processing is an exciting multi-disciplinary field, whose objective is to harness the power of superposition and entanglement of quantum states to establish a new regime of computation for Mankind. This work demonstrates our efforts, in both materials and device engineering, towards building an efficient spin-photon interface for a promising solid-state spin qubit, namely the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre in diamond. Improvement in optical coherence of NV centre is realised via the novel laser-writing fabrication technique and quantified using high-resolution spectroscopy. A new metric concerning the charge-state stability of the NV centre is introduced to better translate the measured NV quality to entanglement generation efficiency. To address the low branching ratio of NV emission into the zero-phonon line (ZPL) transition, a hybrid open-cavity device incorporating low-dimensional micro-structured NV-containing diamond membrane is fabricated and characterised. In addition to the more commonly quoted emission enhancement factor, the collection efficiency of the cavity device is also
quantified via numerical simulations. Combining all observed improvements in key metrics under the framework of double-heralding entanglement schemes, a two order of magnitude increase in entanglement generate rate can be expected. The established simulation methodology is widely applicable in the design and analysis of similar devices with an emitter-in-cavity setup.</p> |
