Tapered optical fibers are promising one-dimensional nanophotonic waveguides that can provide efficient coupling of their fundamental mode and quantum nanoemitters placed inside them. Here we present numerical studies on the coupling of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds with the tapered fibers. The results show that (1) the maximum of 53.4 % of coupling efficiency can be realized when the NV bare dipole is located at the center of the tapered fiber and that (2) NV centers even in 100-nm-sized nanodiamonds, where bulk-like optical properties were reported, show the coupling efficiency of 22 % at the taper surface. These results are an important guide to build hybrid quantum devices for applications in quantum information and quantum sensing.
