									The realization of a highly connected network of qubit registers is a central challenge for quantum information processing and long-distance quantum communication. Diamond spins associated with NV centers are promising building blocks for such a network as they combine a coherent optical interface (similar to that of trapped atomic qubits) with a local register of robust nuclear spin qubits [1]. At the same time, the excellent control of NV centers allows for testing and demonstrating fundamental concepts in physics such as qubit steering by adaptive partial measurements [2].
