量子转换，即将量子信号从一种能量形式转换为另一种能量形式的过程，是量子科学和技术的一个重要领域。本文综述了微波光子和光学光子之间的量子转换，由于其与长距离连接超导量子处理器等应用相关，该领域近期有大量活动和进展。我们的综述涵盖了实现这种转换的主要方法，重点是基于原子系综、光机电和电光的方法。我们从不同应用的角度简要讨论了相关指标以及未来面临的挑战。
Quantum transduction, the process of converting quantum signals from one form of energy to another, is an important area of quantum science and technology. The present perspective article reviews quantum transduction between microwave and optical photons, an area that has recently seen a lot of activity and progress because of its relevance for connecting superconducting quantum processors over long distances, among other applications. Our review covers the leading approaches to achieving such transduction, with an emphasis on those based on atomic ensembles, opto-electro-mechanics, and electro-optics. We briefly discuss relevant metrics from the point of view of different applications, as well as challenges for the future.
