  text: Microelectromechanical systems and integrated photonics provide the basis
    for many reliable and compact circuit elements in modern communication systems.
    Electro-opto-mechanical devices are currently one of the leading approaches to
    realize ultra-sensitive, low-loss transducers for an emerging quantum information
    technology. Here we present an on-chip microwave frequency converter based on
    a planar aluminum on silicon nitride platform that is compatible with slot-mode
    coupled photonic crystal cavities. We show efficient frequency conversion between
    two propagating microwave modes mediated by the radiation pressure interaction
    with a metalized dielectric nanobeam oscillator. We achieve bidirectional coherent
    conversion with a total device efficiency of up to ~60%, a dynamic range of 2
    × 10^9 photons/s and an instantaneous bandwidth of up to 1.7 kHz. A high fidelity
    quantum state transfer would be possible if the drive dependent output noise of
    currently ~14 photons s^−1 Hz^−1 is further reduced. Such a silicon nitride based
    transducer is in situ reconfigurable and could be used for on-chip classical and
    quantum signal routing and filtering, both for microwave and hybrid microwave-optical
    applications.
