contents The digital revolution was enabled by nanostructured devices made from silicon. A similar prominence of this material is anticipated in the upcoming quantum era as the unrivalled maturity of silicon nanofabrication offers unique advantages for integration and up-scaling, while its favorable material properties facilitate quantum memories with hour-long coherence. While small spin-qubit registers have exceeded error-correction thresholds, their connection to large quantum computers is an outstanding challenge. To this end, spin qubits with optical interfaces offer key advantages: they can minimize the heat load and give access to modular quantum computing architectures that eliminate cross-talk and offer a large connectivity via room-temperature photon routing. Here, we implement such an efficient spin-photon interface based on erbium dopants in a nanophotonic resonator. We thus demonstrate optical single-shot readout of a spin in silicon whose coherence exceeds the Purcell-enhanced optical lifetime, paving the way for entangling remote spins via photon interference. As erbium dopants can emit coherent photons in the minimal-loss band of optical fibers, and tens of such qubits can be spectrally multiplexed in each resonator, the demonstrated hardware platform offers unique promise for distributed quantum information processing and the implementation of a quantum internet based on integrated silicon devices.
