In this work, we numerically simulate the coupling strength between NV^-ensembles and superconducting flux qubits and obtain a lower bound of 1016cm^（-3） for NV^-concentration to achieve a sufficiently strong coupling of 10 MHz when the gap between NV^-ensemble and flux qubit is 0. Moreover, we create NV^-ensembles in different types of diamonds by14^（N＋）and12（C＋）ion implantation, electron irradiation, and high temperature annealing. We obtain an NV^-concentration of 1.05 × 1016cm^（-3） in the diamond with1-ppm nitrogen impurity, which is expected to have a long coherence time for the low nitrogen impurity concentration. This shows a step toward performance improvement of flux qubit-NV^-hybrid system.展开更多
