Cryogenic microwave-to-optical conversion using a triply-resonant lithium niobate on sapphire transducer
Timothy P. McKenna, Jeremy D. Witmer, Rishi N. Patel +6
Quantum networks are likely to have a profound impact on the way we compute and communicate in the future. In order to wire together superconducting quantum processors over kilomet…
A silicon-organic hybrid platform for quantum microwave-to-optical transduction
Jeremy D. Witmer, Timothy P. McKenna, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola +6
Low-loss fiber optic links have the potential to connect superconducting quantum processors together over long distances to form large scale quantum networks. A key component of th…
Alignment-free cryogenic optical coupling to an optomechanical crystal
Timothy P. McKenna, Rishi N. Patel, Jeremy D. Witmer +3
The need for highly accurate, labor-intensive optical alignment has been a major hurdle in our ability to leverage the power of complex photonic integrated circuits. There is a str…
Resolving the energy levels of a nanomechanical oscillator
Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Zhaoyou Wang +5
The coherent states that describe the classical motion of a mechanical oscillator do not have well-defined energy, but are rather quantum superpositions of equally-spaced energy ei…
Light-Sound Interaction in Nanoscale Silicon Waveguides
Raphaël Van Laer
This thesis studies the interaction between near-infrared light and gigahertz sound in nanoscale silicon waveguides. Chapter 2 introduces photon-phonon coupling and its theoretical…
