Controlled coupling between bulk acoustic wave resonator modes and spin states in silicon-vacancy centers — •Stefan Pfleging1,2, Arianne Brooks1,2, and Yiwen Chu1,2 — 1Department of Physics, ETH Zürich — 2Quantum Center, ETH Zürich
Hybrid quantum devices making use of a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator (HBAR) are useful for storing and manipulating quantum information. By interfacing HBARs with superconducting circuits, quantum states of motion have been successfully created and manipulated [1, 2]. To enhance the coherence properties of hybrid quantum devices and thus their applicability as a quantum memory, we propose coupling HBARs coherently to the spin states of a negatively charged silicon vacancy color center (SiV−) in diamond, which exhibits coherence times in the order of 10 ms at cryogenic temperatures [3]. We aim to show that the spin qubit, which can be realized within the level scheme of the SiV− in presence of a magnetic field, can be manipulated by acoustic modes of the HBAR. In order to demonstrate the use of the SiV− coupled to the HBAR as a quantum memory, the initial goal is to couple a classically driven acoustic mode to the spin of the SiV−. As a longer-term goal, we can further incorporate a superconducting qubit coupled to the acoustic resonator, forming a coherent interface between microwave circuits and spin qubits.
