Abstract

Building on the alternating-waveguide closed-mechanical-subsystem architecture introduced in [ , 041027 (2018)], we develop a diamond phononic network that overcomes the coupling-hierarchy bottleneck in the implementation analyzed there. Beyond replacing NV centers with SiV centers, we independently engineer the two relevant couplings: localized defect modes and strong SiV orbital–strain interaction enhance the spin–phonon coupling G, whereas cavity–waveguide engineering suppresses the cavity–waveguide coupling g. The resulting coupling hierarchy reverses that found in earlier physical implementations of closed-mechanical-subsystem networks and places the system in the G≫g regime required for direct state transfer. This hierarchy reversal qualitatively changes the appropriate control strategy from bichromatic Mlmer–Srensen driving to a simple direct triple swap. Within our model, the resulting protocol enables state transfer with a fidelity of 0.999 on a microsecond timescale and remains robust against mechanical dissipation, spin dephasing, and finite thermal occupation. Our results establish a distinct route for scalable solid-state phononic quantum networks.
