Quantum optomechanics and electromechanics is a fast growing field with promising applications in quantum information. Recently non-classical mechanical states have been realized. However, full control of a quantum mechanical mode, which is necessary for successful quantum information processing based on electromechanical systems, has yet to be demonstrated. Our goal is to develop a novel quantum electromechanical device capable of obtaining full quantum control of a macroscopic mechanical resonator by integrating a phononic microcavity with a superconducting transmon qubit.
The phononic microcavity is formed by two GaAs/AlAs superlattice, Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) mirrors and a λ/2 cavity. The DBRs are grown by MBE in-house at the INSP using a state-of-the-art Riber Compact 21 molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) machine for III-V semiconductor growth. The transmon qubits are made using ebeam lithography and angle evaporation using the Dolan bridge technique. All the measurements are performed in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator equipped with high frequency electrical waveguides and cryogenic amplifiers.
