Photonic-phononic integrated circuits for (quantum) microwave to optical signal transduction

量子计算是一个快速发展的研究领域。现在有许多物理系统，如光子，自旋和原子，它们被实现为执行各种任务的设备，如量子信息处理，传输和存储。然而，没有一个物理系统可以用于所有任务。提出了一种混合量子系统方法来解决这个问题，其中各种物理系统互补工作。每个系统之间必须有接口来实现混合量子系统：一个可能的接口是量子换能器。存在可以用作量子换能器的现有装置，但是它们的转换效率低于实际水平。我将在Krishna Coimbatore Balram博士的监督下工作，以实现一种为量子转换量身定制的新设备，特别是在微波光学领域工作。

Quantum computing is a rapidly evolving area of research. There are now numerous physical systems, such as photons, spins and atoms, that are implemented into devices that perform various tasks, like quantum information processing, transmission and storage. However, there is not one physical system that can be used for every task. A hybrid quantum system approach is suggested as a solution to this problem, in which various physical systems work complementarily. There must be interfaces between each system to realise hybrid quantum systems: one possible interface is the quantum transducer. There are existing devices which can be used as quantum transducers, but their transduction efficiency is below practical levels. I will be working under the supervision of Dr Krishna Coimbatore Balram to realise a new device that will be tailored for quantum transduction, specifically working in the microwave-optical domain.
