    Abstract

    As a key component of quantum networks, the quantum router distributes quantum information among different quantum nodes. The silicon-vacancy (SiV) center in diamond offers a promising platform for quantum technology due to its strong strain-induced coupling with phonons. However, the development of a practical quantum router faces the challenges of achieving long-range entanglement and suppressing decoherence. Here, we propose a non-Markovian quantum router based on a diamond waveguide embedded with an array of SiV centers as the quantum nodes. Unlike conventional channel-switching methods, our design enables parallel quantum-state transfer from a single input node to multiple target nodes, analogous to a classical WiFi router. We demonstrate that persistent entanglement and suppressed decoherence of the SiV centers over long distances are achievable when bound states are present in the energy spectrum of the total system formed by the SiV centers and the phonon waveguide. Our scheme enriches the implementation of quantum routing and prompts the development of solid-state quantum networks.
