This project aims to build the first photonic architecture capable of controlling the quantum properties of acoustic waves travelling in crystalline materials and quantum fluids. This level of control is expected to herald new capabilities in sensing applications, quantum information and quantum computing. The project seeks to develop a silicon-based photonic platform that enables the preparation of non-classical states of sound within superfluid helium. This new platform will also be used to develop an ultra-compact silicon-chip based laser. The project outcomes should provide a deeper understanding of quantum fluids and quantum mechanics, and enable the realisation of new quantum technologies with substantial commercialisation potential.

该项目旨在建立第一个能够控制在晶体材料和量子流体中传播的声波的量子特性的光子架构。这种控制水平有望预示着传感应用、量子信息和量子计算的新能力。该项目旨在开发一种基于硅的光子平台，使超流氦中的非经典声音状态的制备成为可能。这个新平台还将用于开发超紧凑的硅芯片激光器。项目成果应能让人们更深入地了解量子流体和量子力学，并实现具有巨大商业化潜力的新量子技术。
