Phononic bandgap nano-acoustic cavity with ultralong phonon lifetime
arXiv:1901.04129 · doi:10.1126/science.abc7312
Abstract
We present measurements at millikelvin temperatures of the microwave-frequency acoustic properties of a crystalline silicon nanobeam cavity incorporating a phononic bandgap clamping structure for acoustic confinement. Utilizing pulsed laser light to excite a co-localized optical mode of the nanobeam cavity, we measure the dynamics of cavity acoustic modes with single-phonon sensitivity. Energy ringdown measurements for the fundamental ~GHz acoustic mode of the cavity shows an exponential increase in phonon lifetime versus number of periods in the phononic bandgap shield, increasing up to ~seconds. This ultralong lifetime, corresponding to an effective phonon propagation length of several kilometers, is found to be consistent with damping from non-resonant two-level system defects on the surface of the silicon device. Potential applications of these ultra-coherent nanoscale mechanical resonators range from tests of various collapse models of quantum mechanics to miniature quantum memory elements in hybrid superconducting quantum circuits.
