Color centers in diamond fulfill the fundamental requirements for quantum nodes: they constitute optically accessible quantum systems with long‐lived spin qubits.

All these operations require coherent control of the color center's spin state. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state‐of‐the‐art, challenges, and prospects of such schemes, including high‐fidelity initialization, coherent manipulation, and readout of spin states. Established microwave and optical control techniques are reviewed, and moreover, emerging methods such as cavity‐mediated spin–photon interactions and mechanical control based on spin–phonon interactions are summarized. For different types of color centers, namely, nitrogen–vacancy and group‐IV color centers, distinct challenges persist that are subject of ongoing research. Beyond fundamental coherent spin qubit control techniques, advanced demonstrations in quantum network applications are outlined, for example, the integration of individual color centers for accessing (nuclear) multiqubit registers.

\n Photon loss is one of the key challenges to overcome in complex photonic quantum applications. Photon collection efficiencies directly impact the amount of resources required for measurement-based quantum computation and communication networks. Promising resources include solid-state quantum light sources. However, efficiently coupling light from a single quantum emitter to a guided mode remains demanding. In this work, photon losses are eliminated by maximizing coupling efficiencies in an emitter-to-fiber interface. A waveguide-integrated ‘Sawfish’ photonic crystal cavity is developed and finite element (FEM) simulations are employed to demonstrate that such an emitter-to-fiber interface transfers, with 97.4 % efficiency, the zero-phonon line (ZPL) emission of a negatively-charged tin vacancy center in diamond (SnV−) adiabatically to a single-mode fiber. A surrogate model trained by machine learning provides quantitative estimates of sensitivities to fabrication tolerances. The corrugation-based Sawfish design proves robust under state-of-the-art nanofabrication parameters, maintaining an emitter-to-fiber coupling efficiency of 88.6 %. Applying the Sawfish cavity to a recent one-way quantum repeater protocol substantiates its potential in reducing resource requirements in quantum communication.\n
