Establishing effective spatial correlations between distinct quantum fields is essential for multi-physics quantum sensing.~We here propose a correlation imaging approach based on the hybrid entanglement between microwave photons and microwave surface acoustic wave phonons generated via a superconducting quantum circuit.~At matched microwave frequencies, the five order-of-magnitude wavelength disparity between photons and phonons leads to a unique quantum entanglement resource, which allows the optimal field for probing an object to be distinct from that used for readout.~This resource enables two imaging modalities with giant spatial scaling: a
10−8−10−6-fold demagnification of macroscopic object profiles onto microscopic phononic chips, and conversely, a
104−106-fold magnification of microscopic object profiles into macroscopic photonic readout devices. By interfacing free-space long-wavelength microwaves with on-chip short-wavelength surface acoustic waves, our correlation imaging approach provides a general framework for cross-scale quantum sensing.
As a result of study on surface acoustic waves (SAWs), we propose protocols for generating the quantum entanglement on phonons. In the protocol of phonon–photon entanglement generation, the hybrid system is composed of a surface acoustic wave resonator (SAWR), a superconducting resonator (SR) and a nitrogen-vacancy-center ensemble (NVE). For the generation of three phonon modes entanglement, the SAWRs are coupled to the corresponding NVEs, while the NVEs interact with the same SR. Both protocols exploit the resonant interaction and the dispersive coupling. By considering the decoherence of the corresponding systems, the fidelities of the phonon–photon entanglement and three phonon modes entanglement reach 99.35% and 91.01%, respectively. Generalizing the approaches, we also present the protocol of multiple phonon modes entanglement.
