“…Up to date, no optical signature from other neutral split‐vacancy centers is reported. However, ESR measurement implies that the spin of GeV 0 centers experience a faster relaxation process than that of SiV 0 centers, possibly dominated by spin–lattice and spin–spin interactions . These observations undermine the potential of neutral split‐vacancy centers as building blocks for spin–photon interface, yet more experiments are needed to clarify and verify the nature of the dephasing.…”

Both time constants become temperature independent below 20 K, reading T 1, sat = 43 ± 2 s and T 2, sat = 0.954 ± 0.025 ms, respectively.…”

One ultimate goal of quantum information processing is to construct a quantum network for direct sharing of quantum information between distant parties based on stationary qubits for information storage and flying qubits for information transmission. This requires long‐lived quantum memories, efficient light–matter interface, and deterministic quantum gate operations. Among matter qubits, the electron spin of nitrogen vacancy center in diamond is an appealing option for its long coherence time at room temperature, deterministic microwave control, and optical preparation and readout of the qubit. However, its poor optical properties, including weak zero‐phonon‐line emission and large spectral diffusion, limit its potential for large‐scale deployment in quantum nodes. This has motivated the investigation for alternative quantum emitters that combine long‐time memory and coherent optical properties together. The emerging group‐IV split‐vacancy color centers in diamond, such as silicon‐vacancy, germanium‐vacancy, tin‐vacancy, and lead‐vacancy centers, are promising candidates of this ongoing exploration. These quantum emitters simultaneously possess microsecond spin coherence time and optically bright transitions with narrow linewidths. This review reports recent efforts on extending the spin coherence time of these color centers via temperature, strain, and charge control, which paves the road towards constructing solid‐based matter–photon interface for quantum network applications.
