Creation of entangled state between two spaced NV centers in diamond.

A method for creating an entangled state between two NV centers in a diamond that do not interact directly with each other is studied. The method is based on the excitation of centers via a half divider (a 50% beamsplitter) with the subsequent coherent inversion of the spin of the excited center and the detection of a photon emitted by the excited center. The parameters of a multimode single-photon pulse that make it possible to achieve a maximally possible excitation of the centers at a given solid angle of the focusing of the light on the center are found. The probability to create an entangled state in relation to the parameters of the initial state of a photon, the turn-on and turn-off times of the microwave pulse and the light focusing solid angle is determined. Optimal values of these parameters that ensure a maximal probability of the entanglement creation are determined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
