A perspective on hybrid quantum opto- and electromechanical systems

Abstract

Quantum opto- and electromechanical systems interface mechanical motion with the electromagnetic modes of optical resonators and microwave circuits. The capabilities and promise of these hybrid devices have been showcased through a variety of recent experimental advances that demonstrated exquisite control over the quantum state of solid-state mechanical objects. In this perspective, we offer an overview of the current state, as well as an outlook of the future directions, challenges, and opportunities for this growing field of research. We focus in particular on the prospects for ground state cooling of mechanical modes and their use in quantum circuits, transducers, and networks.
