In this way, the shallow NV-center charge states were stabilized, leading to the increasing fluorescence intensity of about 2 times. This surface coating technique could produce a protective layer of controllable thickness without any damages to the solid-state quantum system surface, which might be an approach to the further passivation or packaging techniques for the solid-state quantum devices.展开更多
