Color centers integrated with nanophotonic devices have emerged as a compelling platform for quantum science and technology. Here, we integrate tin-vacancy centers in a diamond waveguide and investigate the interaction with light at the single-photon level in both reflection and transmission. We observe single-emitter-induced extinction of the transmitted light up to 25% and measure the nonlinear effect on the photon statistics. Furthermore, we demonstrate fully tunable interference between the reflected single-photon field and laser light backscattered at the fiber end and show the corresponding controlled change between bunched and antibunched photon statistics in the reflected field.

Color centers in diamond play a central role in the development of quantum photonic technologies, and their importance is only expected to grow in the near future. For many quantum applications, high collection efficiency from individual emitters is required, but the refractive index mismatch between diamond and air limits the optimal collection efficiency with conventional diamond device geometries. While different out-coupling methods with near-unity efficiency exist, many have yet to be realized due to current limitations in nanofabrication methods, especially for mechanically hard materials like diamond.

Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are effective quantum sensors, ideal for high-sensitivity magnetometry due to their coherent and optically controllable spin states.
- Traditional methods of generating uniform microwave fields for NV sensors face issues with homogeneity and integration, which complicates the setup for precise measurements.
- The study introduces a coplanar waveguide (CPW) gold coil on a small diamond substrate that improves magnetometry by providing a uniform magnetic field, better heat dissipation, and easy scalability for various sensing applications.

However, its relatively low refractive index poses a challenge in designing an MIR diamond functional device with both small footprint and high transmission efficiency. Here we propose and demonstrate the inverse design of an MIR diamond waveguide beam splitter operating at the wavelength of 15 µm with a small footprint of ∼15 µm × ∼15 µm and a total transmission efficiency above 95%.

Two sets of non-overlapping driving fields, each contains two time-dependent microwave fields, are applied to this hybrid system. By modulating these fields, the one-axis twist (OAT) interaction and two-axis two-spin (TATS) interaction can be independently realized.
