Abstract: A scalable point defect qubit control system may include a diamond waveguide array comprising one or more diamond waveguides and a microwave line disposed proximally to the diamond waveguide array. Each diamond waveguide in the diamond waveguide array may include one or more qubits encoded in point defect sites. The microwave line may be configured to receive a direct current (DC) signal configured to shift an energy level of each point defect qubit of the one or more point defect qubits based on a position of the point defect in the diamond waveguide array, and receive an alternating current (AC) signal configured to control a quantum state of a point defect qubit of the one or more point defect qubits, wherein one or more properties of the AC signal are based on the shift in the energy level induced by the DC signal.
