Bistability and steady-state spin squeezing in diamond nanostructures controlled by a nanomechanical resonator

As the quantum states of nitrogen vacancy (NV) center can be coherently manipulated and obtained at room temperature, it is important to generate steady-state spin squeezing In spin qubits associated with NV impurities in diamond. With this task we consider a new type of a hybrid magneto-nano-electromechanical resonator, the functionality of which is based on a magnetic-field induced deflection of an appropriate cantilever that oscillates between NV spins in diamond, We show that there is bistability and spin squeezing state due to the presence of the microwave field, despite the damping from mechanical damping. Moreover, we find that bistability and spin squeezing can be controlled by the microwave field and the parameter V-z. Our scheme may have the potential application on spin clocks, magnetometers, and other measurements based on spin spin system in diamond nanostructures. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
