Executive Summary
Section titled “Executive Summary”This research validates a theoretical framework for constructing a hyperparallel quantum polarization transistor utilizing a diamond Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center coupled with a bilateral optical cavity (NV-Cavity system). This architecture is critical for next-generation Quantum Information Processing (QIP).
- Core Application: Hyperparallel Quantum Polarization Transistor, a fundamental quantum optical device for QIP.
- Material Foundation: The device relies entirely on the stability and strong coupling of the NV center embedded within a high-quality Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) substrate and integrated optical cavity.
- Hyperparallel Advantage: The design simultaneously processes two degrees of freedom (spatial and polarization), offering higher capacity, lower loss rates, and reduced quantum resource consumption compared to single-degree-of-freedom systems.
- Performance Metrics: The proposed scheme demonstrates high theoretical performance, achieving average fidelity ($F_P$) up to 0.9850 and average efficiency ($\eta_P$) up to 0.8500 under optimal coupling conditions.
- Resource Efficiency: The proposed transistor design requires fewer photon detection times and reduced use of the Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CQED) system compared to previous hyperentanglement schemes, simplifying experimental realization.
- 6CCVD Relevance: Successful replication and scaling of this research depend critically on ultra-high purity, low-strain MPCVD Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) substrates, a core offering of 6CCVD.
Technical Specifications
Section titled “Technical Specifications”The performance of the Hyperparallel Quantum Polarization Transistor is governed by the quality of the NV-Cavity coupling, quantified by the ratio of the coupling strength ($g$) to the decay rates ($\kappa$ and $\gamma$).
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Context |

| Maximum Average Fidelity ($F_P$) | 0.9850 | Dimensionless | Achieved when $g^2/(\kappa\gamma) = 2.5$ and $\kappa_s/\kappa = 0.1$. |
| Maximum Average Efficiency ($\eta_P$) | 0.8500 | Dimensionless | Achieved when $g^2/(\kappa\gamma) = 2.5$ and $\kappa_s/\kappa = 0.1$. |
| Critical Coupling Ratio ($g^2/(\kappa\gamma)$) | 2.4 to 2.5 | Dimensionless | Ratio of coupling strength to cavity/NV decay rates. Higher values yield better performance. |

Key Methodologies
Section titled “Key Methodologies”The hyperparallel quantum polarization transistor is a theoretical construct based on Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CQED) principles, utilizing the strong interaction between a single NV center and a bilateral optical microcavity.
- NV-Cavity System Construction: A single NV center is embedded within a high-quality diamond substrate and coupled to a bilateral optical cavity. The system relies on the strong coupling regime where $g^2/(\kappa\gamma) \gg 1$.
- Qubit Encoding: Information is encoded using the hyperparallel degrees of freedom of the photon: polarization (Right-hand $|R\rangle$ or Left-hand $|L\rangle$ circular polarization) and spatial mode (input/output ports $a, b, c, d$).
- Core Logic Block (Central Block): The core module consists of the NV-Cavity system, four 22.5° Half-Wave Plates (HWP22.5°), and two 50:50 Beam Splitters (BS).
- Polarization Manipulation: Linear optical components (HWPs, Phase Shifters (PS), and Polarization Beam Splitters (PBS)) are used to execute Hadamard gate operations on the polarization and spatial modes, enabling the necessary input-output transformations.
- State Projection and Feedforward: The process involves projecting the final state of the NV center onto a specific spin basis (e.g., $(|+1\rangle \pm |-1\rangle)/\sqrt{2}$) and applying feedforward operations to the output photons to complete the transistor function.
- Performance Calculation: Fidelity ($F$) and efficiency ($\eta$) are calculated by integrating over the input parameters, considering non-ideal factors such as cavity decay ($\kappa$), side leakage ($\kappa_s$), and NV decoherence ($\gamma$).

Applicable Materials
Section titled “Applicable Materials”To achieve the strong coupling regime ($g^2/(\kappa\gamma) \gg 1$) and minimize side leakage ($\kappa_s/\kappa \ll 1$), researchers require diamond with exceptional purity and surface quality.
| 6CCVD Material Solution | Specification & Relevance to Research |
|---|---|
| Optical Grade SCD | Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) is mandatory for stable, long-coherence NV centers. Our MPCVD growth ensures ultra-low nitrogen background (< 1 ppb) necessary for high-density, isolated NV creation and minimal decoherence ($\gamma$). |
| Custom Thickness SCD | Cavity integration (e.g., fabrication of micro-pillars or photonic crystal cavities) requires precise substrate thickness. 6CCVD offers SCD wafers from 0.1 µm up to 500 µm with tight tolerance control, facilitating optimal cavity resonance ($\omega_c$). |
| Ultra-Smooth Polishing | The bilateral optical cavity requires extremely low scattering loss. 6CCVD provides Ra < 1 nm polishing on SCD, essential for minimizing optical loss ($\kappa$) and achieving the required low side leakage ratio ($\kappa_s/\kappa$). |
