Abstract

The investigation on significantly enhancing the coupling to NV centers at single-quanta level is of great key point to further explore its application in quantum information processing (QIP). We here study a joint scheme to further enhance NV-phonon coherent coupling with two methods working together in a hybrid optomechanical systems. Both methods are mechanic-induced mode field coupling (MFC) leading to the modification of the spatial distribution of the optical field, and the mechanical parametric amplification (MPA) realized by modulating the mechanical spring constant in time, respectively. With the joint assistance of MFC and MPA, the coherent coupling between the NV spin and one supermode of the mechanical resonators (MRs) can be further enhanced significantly, with the rate ne^r, several potential applications on this proposal are also discussed in this work. For the ultimate target of enhancing the coupling to NV spin at single-quanta level, this attempt may provide a promising spin-phonon platform for implementing the more active control.
