Coupling a superconducting quantum circuit to a phononic crystal defect cavity

Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Marek Pechal +3

Connecting nanoscale mechanical resonators to microwave quantum circuits opens new avenues for storing, processing, and transmitting quantum information. In this work, we couple a…

A single-mode phononic wire

Rishi N. Patel, Zhaoyou Wang, Wentao Jiang +3

Photons and electrons transmit information to form complex systems and networks. Phonons on the other hand, the quanta of mechanical motion, are often considered only as carriers o…

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…

Laser cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator into its quantum ground state

Jasper Chan, T. P. Mayer Alegre, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini +5

A patterned Si nanobeam is formed which supports co-localized acoustic and optical resonances that are coupled via radiation pressure. Starting from a bath temperature of T=20K, th…
