Abstract Solid-state quantum registers are exceptional for storing quantum information at room temperature with long coherence time. Nevertheless, practical applications toward quantum supremacy require even longer coherence time to allow for more complex algorithms. In this work we propose a quantum register that lies in a decoherence-protected subspace to be implemented with nuclear spins nearby a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. The quantum information is encoded in two logical states composed of two carbon-13 nuclear spins, while an electron spin is used as ancilla for initialization and control. Moreover, by tuning an off-axis magnetic field we enable non-nuclear-spin-preserving transitions that we use for preparing and manipulating the register through stimulating Raman adiabatic passage. Furthermore, we consider more elaborated sequences to improve simultaneous control over the system yielding decreased gate time.
