Title : Integrating optomechanical and superconducting quantum circuits
Abstract : I will present recent work at Caltech on the integration of optomechanical crystals for light and sound with electronic superconducting quantum circuits. Utilizing the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer platform, we have made key advances in the fabrication and integration of extremely low loss microwave phonon structures and low loss microwave superconducting resonators of high impedance. These technical advancements offer several intriguing opportunities for quantum information processing with phonons, photons, and electrons in an integrated, wafer-scale platform. Discussion of several concepts along these lines being pursued at Caltech will be presented.
