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，它们被实现到执行各种任务的设备中，如量子信息处理、传输和存储。然而，并不是每个任务都可以使用一个物理系统。提出了一种混合量子系统的方法来解决这一问题，在这种方法中，各种物理系统相互补充地工作。要实现混合量子系统，每个系统之间必须有接口：一个可能的接口是量子换能器。现有的一些器件可以用作量子换能器，但它们的转换效率低于实用水平。我将在克里希纳·科因拜托雷·巴拉姆博士的监督下工作，以实现一种为量子传输量身定做的新设备，特别是在微波-光学领域。

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.
