Abstract

Hybrid quantum systems would allow interfacing superconducting nodes with optical links. Here, the authors demonstrate an integrated platform where 10 GHz phonons are resonantly coupled with photons in a superconducting cavity and a nanophotonic cavity at the same time, allowing efficient mediation of bidirectional microwave-optical conversion.
