We propose the use of the second-order magnetic-gradient-induced coupling between the
nitrogen-vacancy center and the mechanical resonator for exploring the phonon-blockade …

We propose how to achieve strong phonon blockade (PB) in a hybrid spin-mechanical
system in the weak-coupling regime. We demonstrate the implementation of magnetically …

The recently developed hybrid magnonics provides new opportunities for advances in both
the study of magnetism and the development of quantum information processing. However …

Hybrid spin-mechanical setups offer a versatile platform for quantum science and
technology, but improving the spin-phonon as well as the spin-spin couplings of such …

We investigate phonon statistics in a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR), which is
quadratically coupled to a two-level system, by driving the NAMR and two-level system …

Coherent tripartite interactions among degrees of freedom of completely different nature are
instrumental for quantum information and simulation technologies, but they are generally …

An investigation to significantly enhance coupling to nitrogen− vacancy (NV) centers at a
single-quanta level is of great interest to further explore its applications in quantum …

Quantum manipulation of mechanical resonators has been widely applied in fundamental
physics and quantum information processing. Among them, cooling a mechanical system to …

Phonon blockade is a purely quantum phenomenon, analogous to Coulomb and photon
blockades, in which a single phonon in an anharmonic mechanical resonator can impede …

Quantum entanglement in the motion of macroscopic objects is of significance to both
fundamental studies and quantum technologies. Here we show how to entangle the …
