(a) Schematic of the hybrid system, where the NV electron spin (red row) is embedded in the DMR. L, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the DMR, respectively. (b) Levels of Δ-type transition ground-state electronic spin NV center, consisting of the levels of |0〉 and |±1〉, where, two classical microwave fields with frequencies ω1 and ω2 induce the transitions |0〉 ↔ |±1〉 with Rabi frequencies G1 and G2, respectively. In addition, the transition |+1〉 ↔ |−1〉 is coupled to the strain field (the frequency ωm) with the coupling strength λ. Dgs is the zero-field splitting between the state |0〉 and the nearly degenerated states |±1〉 which can be split by Δp in a magnetic field. Δ1(2) are the detunings between the frequencies of the transition |0〉 ↔ |±1〉 and the frequencies of the microwave fields. (c) Level structure of the effective Λ-type transition structure. The transitions |±〉 ↔ |+1〉 are coupled to the displaced quantized fields with the coupling strengths λ1 and λ2, respectively. The energy spacing between energy levels |+〉 and |−〉 is 2ω.
