Multimode Strong Coupling in Superconducting Cavity Piezoelectromechanics

Xu Han, Chang‐Ling Zou, Hong X. Tang

High-frequency mechanical resonators subjected to low thermal phonon occupancy are easier to be prepared to the ground state by direct cryogenic cooling. Their extreme stiffness, however, poses a significant challenge for external interrogations. Here we demonstrate a superconducting cavity piezoelectromechanical system in which multiple modes of a bulk acoustic resonator oscillating at 10 GHz are coupled to a planar microwave superconducting resonator with a cooperativity exceeding 2×10^{3}, deep in the strong coupling regime. By implementation of the noncontact coupling scheme to reduce mechanical dissipation, the system exhibits excellent coherence characterized by a frequency-quality-factor product of 7.5×10^{15} Hz. Interesting dynamics of classical temporal oscillations of the microwave energy is observed, implying the coherent conversion between phonons and photons. The demonstrated high-frequency cavity piezoelectromechanics is compatible with superconducting qubits, representing an important step towards hybrid quantum systems.

Prospects for Strong Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Superconducting Circuits

S. M. Girvin, Ren-Shou Huang, Alexandre Blais +2 more

We propose a realizable architecture using one-dimensional transmission line resonators to reach the strong coupling limit of cavity quantum electrodynamics in superconducting electrical circuits. The vacuum Rabi frequency for the coupling of cavity photons to quantized excitations of an adjacent electrical circuit (qubit) can easily exceed the damping rates of both the cavity and the qubit. This architecture is attractive for quantum computing and control, since it provides strong inhibition of spontaneous emission, potentially leading to greatly enhanced qubit lifetimes, allows high-fidelity quantum non-demolition measurements of the state of multiple qubits, and has a natural mechanism for entanglement of qubits separated by centimeter distances. In addition it would allow production of microwave photon states of fundamental importance for quantum communication.

Cavity piezo-mechanics for superconducting-nanophotonic quantum interface

Xu Han, Wei Fu, Changchun Zhong +8 more

Abstract Hybrid quantum systems are essential for the realization of distributed quantum networks. In particular, piezo-mechanics operating at typical superconducting qubit frequencies features low thermal excitations, and offers an appealing platform to bridge superconducting quantum processors and optical telecommunication channels. However, integrating superconducting and optomechanical elements at cryogenic temperatures with sufficiently strong interactions remains a tremendous challenge. Here, we report an integrated superconducting cavity piezo-optomechanical platform where 10 GHz phonons are resonantly coupled with photons in a superconducting cavity and a nanophotonic cavity at the same time. Taking advantage of the large piezo-mechanical cooperativity (Cem ~7) and the enhanced optomechanical coupling boosted by a pulsed optical pump, we demonstrate coherent interactions at cryogenic temperatures via the observation of efficient microwave-optical photon conversion. This hybrid interface makes a substantial step towards quantum communication at large scale, as well as novel explorations in microwave-optical photon entanglement and quantum sensing mediated by gigahertz phonons.
