Coherent quantum systems are a key resource for emerging technology. Solid-state spin of particular importance compact and scalable devices. However, interaction with the solid-state host degrades coherence properties. The negatively charged silicon vacancy center in diamond is such an example. While spectral properties outstanding, optical protected by defects symmetry, susceptible to rapid orbital relaxation limiting dephasing time. A prolongation time therefore utmost urgency has been...

Ideal repeater nodes efficiently link a memory with photons serving as flying qubits. Color centers diamond, particularly negatively charged silicon vacancy center, are promising candidates establish such nodes. Inefficient connection between color center’s spin fiber is major obstacle, that could be resolved by utilizing resonators. Here, we couple individual incorporated...
