Polarization-selective excitation of nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond
The nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond is promising as an electron spin qubit due to its long-lived coherence and optical addressability. The ground state is a spin triplet with two levels $({m}_{s}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$ degenerate at zero magnetic field. Polarization-selective microwave excitation is an attractive method to address the spin transitions …
