High Q-factor diamond optomechanical resonators with silicon vacancy centers at millikelvin temperatures
read the original abstract
Phonons are envisioned as coherent intermediaries between different types of quantum systems. Engineered nanoscale devices such as optomechanical crystals (OMCs) provide a platform to utilize phonons as quantum information carriers. Here we demonstrate OMCs in diamond designed for strong interactions between phonons and a silicon vacancy (SiV) spin. Using optical measurements at millikelvin temperatures, we measure a linewidth of 13 kHz (Q-factor of ~440,000) for 6 GHz acoustic modes, a record for diamond in the GHz frequency range and within an order of magnitude of state-of-the-art linewidths for OMCs in silicon. We investigate SiV optical and spin properties in these devices and outline a path towards a coherent spin-phonon interface.
