Quantum acousto-optic transducer for superconducting qubits
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose theory for a reversible quantum transducer connecting superconducting qubits and optical photons using acoustic waves in piezoelectrics. The proposed device consists of an integrated acousto-optic resonator that utilizes stimulated Brillouin scattering for phonon-photon conversion and piezoelectric effect for coupling of phonons to qubits. We evaluate the phonon-photon coupling rate and show that the required power of the optical pump as well as the other device parameters providing full and faithful quantum conversion is feasible for implementation with the state-of-the-art integrated acousto-optics.

Multi-wavelength Acousto-optic deflector for two-photon addressing arrays of Rb atoms in a Quantum Information Processor
We demonstrate a dual wavelength acousto-optic deflector (AOD) designed to deflect two wavelengths to the same angles by driving with two RF frequencies. The AOD is designed as a beam scanner to address two-photon transitions in a two-dimensional array of trapped neutral Rb atoms in a quantum computer. Momentum space is used to design AODs that have the same diffraction angles for two wavelengt...

An acousto-optic deflector with a two-element phased-array piezoelectric transducer is investigated at high diffraction efficiency (close to 100%). Significant broadening of the frequency band (and, thus, the angular scanning range) relative to the well-known low efficiency regime is theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated. Experiments with an off-axis deflector based on paratel...
