Abstract
Diamond has attracted great interest as a quantum technology platform thanks to its optically active nitrogen vacancy center (NV). The NV's ground state spin can be read out optically exhibiting long spin coherence times of about 1 ms even at ambient temperatures. In addition, the energy levels of the NV are sensitive to external fields. These properties make NVs attractive as a scalable platform for efficient nanoscale resolution sensing based on electron spins and for quantum information systems. Diamond photonics enhances optical interaction with NVs, beneficial for both quantum sensing and information. Diamond is also compelling for microfluidic applications due to its outstanding biocompatibility, with sensing functionality provided by NVs. However, it remains a significant challenge to fabricate photonics, NVs and microfluidics in diamond. In this Report, an overview is provided of ion irradiation and femtosecond laser writing, two promising fabrication methods for diamond based quantum technological devices. The unique capabilities of both techniques are described, and the most important fabrication results of color center, optical waveguide and microfluidics in diamond are reported, with an emphasis on integrated devices aiming towards high performance quantum sensors and quantum information systems of tomorrow
