Deterministically entangling distant nitrogen-vacancy centers by a nanomechanical cantilever

Abstract

We present a practical scheme by global addressing to deterministically entangle negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers in distant diamonds using a nano-mechanical cantilever with the magnetic tips strongly coupled to the N-V electron spins. Symmetric Dicke states are generated as an example, and the experimental feasibility and challenge of our scheme are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
