Comparing optical-microwave conversion and all-microwave control schemes for a transmon qubit
Volodymyr Monarkha, Massimo Borrelli, Reza Hajitashakkori Kenari +13
We report a comparative study on transmon qubit control using (i) conventional attenuated coaxial microwave line and (ii) an optical control system using modulated laser light deli…
High-quality amorphous Silicon Carbide for hybrid photonic integration at low temperature
Bruno Lopez-Rodriguez, Roald Van Der Kolk, Samarth Aggarwal +9
Integrated photonic platforms have proliferated in recent years, each demonstrating its own unique strengths and shortcomings. However, given the processing incompatibilities of di…
Thermalization properties at mK temperatures of a nanoscale optomechanical resonator with acoustic-bandgap shield
Sean M. Meenehan, Justin D. Cohen, Simon Groeblacher +4
Optical measurements of a nanoscale silicon optomechanical crystal cavity with a mechanical resonance frequency of 3.6GHz are performed at sub-kelvin temperatures. We infer optical…
Squeezing of light via reflection from a silicon micromechanical resonator
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Simon Groeblacher, Jeff T. Hill +3
We present the measurement of squeezed light generation using an engineered optomechanical system fabricated from a silicon microchip and composed of a micromechanical resonator co…
Laser noise in cavity-optomechanical cooling and thermometry
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jasper Chan, Jeff T. Hill +5
We review and study the roles of quantum and classical fluctuations in recent cavity-optomechanical experiments which have now reached the quantum regime (mechanical phonon occupan…
Monocrystalline AlGaAs heterostructures for high-reflectivity high-Q micromechanical resonators in the MHz regime
Garrett D. Cole, Simon Groeblacher, Katharina Gugler +2
We present high-performance megahertz micromechanical oscillators based on freestanding epitaxial AlGaAs distributed Bragg reflectors. Compared with dielectric reflectors, the low…
