In this review, we briefly discuss the working principles and recent experimental progresses of this spin qubit. These results focus on understanding and prolonging center spin coherence, steering and probing spin states with dedicated quantum control techniques, and exploiting the quantum nature of these multi-spin systems, such as superposition and entanglement, to demonstrate the superiority of quantum information processing. Those techniques also stimulate the fast development of NV-based quantum sensing, which is an interdisciplinary field with great potential applications.展开更多

We use the Schrrdinger equation to calculate the probability amplitudes of the wave function of the coupled system and derive analytical expressions of the spontaneous emission spectra. The numerical results show that a few interesting phenomena such as enhancement, narrowing, suppression, and quenching of the ZPL spontaneous emission can be realized by modulating the polarization- dependent phase, the Zeeman shift, and the intensity of the control field in our system. In the dressed-state picture of the control field, we find that multiple spontaneously generated coherence arises due to three close-lying states decaying to the same state. These results are useful in real experiments.展开更多

Recently, a novel solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） system, in which the nitrogen-vacancy （NV） center in diamond is coupled to a microtoroidal resonator （MTR）, has been proposed as a poten- tial system for hybrid quantum information and computing. By virtue of such systems, we present a scheme to realize a nonlocal N-qubit conditional phase gate directly. Our scheme employs a cavity input-output process and single-photon interference, without the use of any auxiliary entanglement pair or classical communication. Considering the currently available technologies, our scheme might be quite useful among different nodes in quantum networks for large-scaled QIP.展开更多

The annealing treatment was found to completely transform nitrogen atoms originally arranged in a single substitutional form （C-center）, into a pair form （A-center）, indicated from infrared （IR） spectra. The photoluminescence （PL） spectra revealed that a small fraction of nitrogen atoms remained in C-center form, while some nitrogen atoms in A-center form were further transformed into N3 and H3 center structures. In addition, PL spectra have revealed the existence of two newly observed nitrogen-related structures with zero phonon lines at 611 nm and 711 nm. All these findings above are very helpful in understanding the formation mechanism of natural diamond stones of the Ia-type, which contains nitrogen atoms in an aggregated form.展开更多
