Quantum acoustics with superconducting qubits

Understand

The ability to engineer and manipulate different types of quantum mechanical objects allows us to take advantage of their unique properties and create useful hybrid technologies.

• Thus far, complex quantum states and exquisite quantum control have been demonstrated in systems ranging from trapped ions to superconducting resonators.
• Recently, there have been many efforts to extend these demonstrations to the motion of complex, macroscopic objects.
• These mechanical objects have important applications as quantum memories or transducers for measuring and connecting different types of quantum systems.
