Abstract
Quantum computation and communication systems exploit quantum mechanical effects to surpass their classical counterparts in certain applications. However, while proof-of-principle experimental demonstrations have been performed, these are limited to a handful of nodes with limited - and often immutable - connectivity. Here we demonstrate an integrated platform for solid state quantum information processing. Pre-characterized solid state quantum nodes (nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond nanophotonic structures) are placed into a photonic integrated circuit which allows for low-loss and phase-stable collection, routing, and detection of photons as well as on-chip state manipulation and classical control. Moreover, the fabrication of high-quality photonic resonators in diamond allows for the increased emission and collection rates of photons coherent with the spin state. These two advances promise an on-chip entanglement rate much larger than the decoherence rate, allowing the creation and maintenance of cluster states for quantum computation.
