Scalable integration of long-lived quantum memories into a photonic circuit

We demonstrate a photonic circuit with integrated long-lived quantum memories. Pre-selected quantum nodes - diamond micro-waveguides containing single, stable, and negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centers - are deterministically integrated into low-loss silicon nitride waveguides. Each quantum memory node efficiently couples into the single-mode waveguide (> 1 Mcps collected into the waveguide) and exhibits long spin coherence times of up to 120 {\mu}s. Our system facilitates the assembly of multiple quantum memories into a photonic integrated circuit with near unity yield, paving the way towards scalable quantum information processing.
