Abstract

We demonstrate coherent transduction of a frequency qubit from the microwave to optical domain by means of multimode surface acoustic wave cavities coupled to an InAs quantum dot.

Quantum phase modulation with acoustic cavities and quantum dots

Poolad Imany, Zixuan Wang, Ryan A. DeCrescent +8 more

Fast, efficient, and low power modulation of light at microwave frequencies is crucial for chip-scale classical and quantum processing as well as for long-range networks of superconducting quantum processors. A successful approach to bridge the gap between microwave and optical photons has been to use intermediate platforms such as acoustic waves, which can couple efficiently to a variety of quantum systems. Here, we use gigahertz-frequency focusing surface acoustic wave cavities on GaAs that are piezo-electrically coupled to superconducting circuits and parametrically coupled, via strain, to photons scattered from InAs quantum dots . We demonstrate strong modulation of single photons with a half-wave voltage as low as 44 mV, and subnatural modulation sideband linewidths. These demonstrations pave the way for efficient and low-noise transduction of quantum information between microwave and optical domains.
