The Dynamics Of The Optically Driven Λ Transition Of The 15N-V- Center In Diamond

Abstract

Recent experimental results demonstrate the possibility of writing quantum information in the ground state triplet of the 15N-V- center in diamond by means of an optically driven spin non-conserving two-photon Λ transition in the presence of a strong applied electric field. Our calculations show that the hyperfine interaction in the 15N-V - center is capable of mediating such a transition. We use a density matrix approach to describe the exact dynamics for the allowed optical spin non-conserving transitions between two sublevels of the ground state triplet. This approach allows us to calculate the Rabi oscillations, by means of which we obtain a Rabi frequency with an upper bound determined by the hyperfine interaction. This result is crucial for the success of implementing optically driven quantum information processing with the N-V center in diamond. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
