Witnessing quantum entanglement in ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy centers coupled to a superconducting resonator.
A hybrid quantum device consisting of three ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy centers (NVEs) whose spins are collectively coupled to a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator is shown to enable the generation of controllable tripartite macroscopic entangled states. The density matrix of such NVEs can be encoded to recast a three-qubit system state, which can be characterized in terms of the entanglement witnesses in relation to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We identify the parameter space within which the generated entangled states can have an arbitrarily large overlap with GHZ states, indicating an enhanced entanglement in the system.
