Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond are widely studied both as a testbed for solid state quantum optics and for
their applications in quantum information processing and magnetometry. Here we demonstrate coupling of the
nitrogen-vacancy centers to gap plasmons in metal nano-slits. We use diamond samples where nitrogen-vacancy
centers are implanted tens of nanometers under the surface. Silver nano-slits are patterned on the sample such
that diamond ridges tens of nanometers wide fill the slit gap. We measure enhancement of the spontaneous
emission rate of the zero photon line by a factor of 3 at a temperature of 8K.
