Diamond-based quantum simulator - surface and material challenges
Abstract: The development of quantum technologies, such as quantum simulators, promises significant advancements in the study of complex systems, including many-body physics. One promising approach for realizing a quantum simulator is to use nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. A hybrid system, in which an NV center serves as a quantum probe for initialization, manipulation and readout, while nuclear spin arrays on the diamond surface function as qubits, presents a potential direction for quantum simulator development.
NV centers are widely used as quantum sensors due to their unique properties. However, their high sensitivity, while advantageous, also introduces challenges in the fabrication and stability of a diamond-based quantum simulator. Achieving a functional system requires careful consideration of structural complexity, material interactions, and environmental conditions.
From hyperfine interactions to limitations imposed by experimental equipment, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the complexities involved in the fabrication process of an NV-based quantum simulator. Additionally, it presents potential strategies for mitigating these challenges, contributing to the ongoing development of scalable and reliable quantum simulation platforms.
