    • All-Optical Sensing of a Single-Molecule Electron Spin 

      Sushkov, Alexander; Chisholm, N.; Lovchinsky, I.; Kubo, M.; Lo, P. K.; Bennett, Steven; Hunger, D.; Akimov, Alexey; Walsworth, Ronald Lee; Park, H.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)
      We demonstrate an all-optical method for magnetic sensing of individual molecules in ambient conditions at room temperature. Our approach is based on shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers near the surface of a diamond ...

    • Optomechanical Quantum Information Processing with Photons and Phonons 

      Stannigel, K.; Komar, Peter; Habraken, S. J. M.; Bennett, Steven; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Zoller, P.; Rabl, P. (American Physical Society, 2012)
      We describe how strong resonant interactions in multimode optomechanical systems can be used to induce controlled nonlinear couplings between single photons and phonons. Combined with linear mapping schemes between photons ...

    • Phonon cooling and lasing with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond 

      Kepesidis, K. V.; Bennett, Steven; Portolan, S.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Rabl, P. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013)
      We investigate the strain-induced coupling between a nitrogen-vacancy impurity and a resonant vibrational mode of a diamond nanoresonator. We show that under near-resonant laser excitation of the electronic states of the ...

    • Phonon-Induced Population Dynamics and Intersystem Crossing in Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers 

      Goldman, Michael Lurie; Sipahigil, Alp; Doherty, M. W.; Yao, Norman Ying; Bennett, Steven; Markham, M.; Twitchen, D. J.; Manson, N. B.; Kubanek, Alexander; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society (APS), 2015)
      We report direct measurement of population dynamics in the excited state manifold of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. We quantify the phonon-induced mixing rate and demonstrate that it can be completely suppressed ...

    • Phonon-Induced Spin-Spin Interactions in Diamond Nanostructures: Application to Spin Squeezing 

      Bennett, Steven; Yao, Norman Ying; Otterbach, Johannes; Zoller, P.; Rabl, P.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013)
      We propose and analyze a novel mechanism for long-range spin-spin interactions in diamond nanostructures. The interactions between electronic spins, associated with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, are mediated by ...

    • Quantum logic between remote quantum registers 

      Yao, Norman Ying; Gong, Z.-X; Laumann, C; Bennett, Steven; Duan, L.-M.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Jiang, L.; Gorshkov, A.V. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013)
      We consider two approaches to dark-spin-mediated quantum computing in hybrid solid-state spin architectures. First, we review the notion of eigenmode-mediated unpolarized spin-chain state transfer and extend the analysis ...

    • Sensing Distant Nuclear Spins with a Single Electron Spin 

      Kolkowitz, Shimon Jacob; Unterreithmeier, Quirin; Bennett, Steven; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society (APS), 2012)
      We experimentally demonstrate the use of a single electronic spin to measure the quantum dynamics of distant individual nuclear spins from within a surrounding spin bath. Our technique exploits coherent control of the ...

    • Single-photon nonlinearities in two-mode optomechanics 

      Komar, Peter; Bennett, Steven; Stannigel, K.; Habraken, S.; Rabl, P.; Zoller, P.; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society, 2013)
      We present a detailed theoretical analysis of a weakly driven, multimode optomechanical system, in which two optical modes are strongly and near-resonantly coupled to a single mechanical mode via a three-wave mixing ...

    • State-selective intersystem crossing in nitrogen-vacancy centers 

      Goldman, Michael Lurie; Doherty, M. W.; Sipahigil, Alp; Yao, Norman Ying; Bennett, Steven; Manson, N. B.; Kubanek, Alexander; Lukin, Mikhail D. (American Physical Society (APS), 2015)
      The intersystem crossing (ISC) is an important process in many solid-state atomlike impurities. For example, it allows the electronic spin state of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond to be initialized and read out ...
