Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond have been long used for spin-based optical sensing and also considered viable candidates for implementing quantum information protocols using their spin degree of freedom. Their nanoscale size and the possibility of optical spin readout make them particularly attractive for the use in integrated nanophotonic and quantum optical devices. We will discuss how the optical Purcell effect in plasmonic systems affects the NV spin readout signal and present the demonstration of this readout through optical plasmons in an integrated nanophotonic interface. We will show that spin relaxometry is a powerful tool that allows to probe the magnonic density of states and its electrical tuning with sub-um spatial resolution. Furthermore, we will discuss how spin signal readout sensitivity can be enhanced with the use of plasmonic nanostructures deterministically assembled on the nanoscale.

Quantum-classical spin hybrids composed of physical system with complimentary characteristics have enabled novel capabilities and functionalities within the realm of existing technology. One half of such hybrid systems is the quantum impurity spin with small spin quantum number such that its description is governed by the counter-intuitive laws of quantum mechanics. The other is a classical magnet with large spin quantum number such that its dynamics can be captured within the framework of classical physics. Such hybrids give rise to possibilities where controlling the degrees of freedom in one system can be leveraged to control dynamics in the other. Leveraging the demonstrated spintronic tools of classical magnet dynamics, we demonstrate two significant steps towards realizing a quantum network for information processing applications. One, a theoretically designed regime where electrical control of non-linear magnetization dynamics of a nanomagnet provides a local, coherent, and low-power drive to manipulate a coupled quantum impurity spin without introducing additional decoherence. Another, where we demonstrate via a joint theoretical and experimental effort, the electrical tuning of interaction between electrically-controlled propagating magnons in an extended magnet and a quantum impurity spin. The merits of such a hybrid system provide pathways to overcome the bottlenecks associated with local controllability of individual quantum spins in a quantum network and modulate the interaction mediating the two subsystems.
