Protocols for optical-microwave quantum transduction with quantum dots and surface-acoustic-wave cavities

ORAL

Abstract

We present analysis of protocols for optical-microwave quantum transduction mediated by an optical-frequency two-level-system and a microwave-frequency bosonic mode that are weakly coupled by a sigma_z hat{x} term. We focus on parameter regimes where the coupling rate is much smaller than the optical emission rate of the two-level-system, which is in turn smaller than the frequency of the bosonic mode. We demonstrate that quantum transduction is possible in this parameter regime, and investigate the dependence of the success rate on the device parameters. Our results will inform the design of quantum transduction devices consisting of, for example, a quantum dot located in a mechanical resonator.
