Optomechanical quantum control of a nitrogen vacancy center in diamond

We demonstrate optomechanical quantum control of a nitrogen vacancy (NV) in the resolved-sideband regime by coupling the NV to both optical fields and surface acoustic waves and by using strong excited-state electron-phonon coupling for NVs.
