Scalable quantum computation based on nitrogen-vacancy centers in decoherence-free subspace

Abstract

Due to its unique optical properties, nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond show remarkable advantages in realizing quantum information processing and computation. This paper proposes a scalable quantum computing architecture based on solid-state NV centers. In our scheme, logical qubits are encoded in a decoherence-free subspace (DFS) with Larmor pairs (a pair of the nucleus). And the connection between multiple qubits is assisted by a cantilever probe. Then the high fidelity of the universal quantum gate is achieved by using a series of pulses. Our scheme provides physical feasibility for scalable quantum computing and may pave the way for large-scale quantum computing based on NV centers.
