dc.description.abstract	Diamond has been proven to be a particularly useful material for implementing quantum technologies due to the various defects known as color centers. These color centers can be coupled to both photons and phonons; therefore, they enable the realization of a hybrid quantum system that consists of spins, photons, and phonons. Cavity optomechanics provides a platform to increase the interaction time between photons and phonons. By increasing the average number of photons and phonons, the coupling rates will be enhanced, and better control over the system could emerge as a result. This is integral to quantum technologies such as quantum networks, computers, and sensors. Cavity optomechanical systems are inherently nonlinear systems, which can be easily seen when the number of photons and phonons increases. This work studies nonlinear cavity optomechanics in diamond as we explore relatively under-studied dynamical regimes of optomechanical systems by increasing the number of phonons.
