contents 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, we eliminate photon losses by maximizing coupling efficiencies in an emitter-to-fiber interface. We develop a waveguide-integrated 'Sawfish' photonic crystal cavity and use finite element simulations to demonstrate that our system transfers, with 97.4% efficiency, the zero-phonon line emission of a negatively-charged tin vacancy center in diamond adiabatically to a single-mode fiber. A surrogate model trained by machine learning provides quantitative estimates of sensitivities to fabrication tolerances. Our corrugation-based design proves robust under state-of-the-art nanofabrication parameters, maintaining an emitter-to-fiber coupling efficiency of 88.6%. To demonstrate its potential in reducing resource requirements, we apply the Sawfish cavity to a recent one-way quantum repeater protocol.
