Electron spins associated with solid state defects are promising systems for quantum information processing. Exploiting nuclear spins surrounding the defect as a quantum register provides a natural hybrid spin system. Such a system could be used for a fault-tolerant quantum repeater scheme [1] where the spins might be associated to nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. Here, we present a hybrid spin register based on a single NV defect in diamond coupled to three nuclear spins. The electron spin is used for control, and the nuclear spins as a long-lived quantum storage. We achieve high-fidelity initialization and single shot readout of the nuclear spin register. Implementation of a novel non-local gate combined with optimal control enables universal, high-fidelity control. With these techniques, we demonstrate three-qubit entanglement and quantum error correction. These experiments demonstrate the potential of solid state spin systems for quantum computation and communication. [1] L. Childress, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 070504 (2006).
