text: Quantum entanglement is a key resource in currently developed quantum technologies.
Sharing this fragile property between superconducting microwave circuits and optical
or atomic systems would enable new functionalities, but this has been hindered
by an energy scale mismatch of >104 and the resulting mutually imposed loss and
noise. In this work, we created and verified entanglement between microwave and
optical fields in a millikelvin environment. Using an optically pulsed superconducting
electro-optical device, we show entanglement between propagating microwave and
optical fields in the continuous variable domain. This achievement not only paves
the way for entanglement between superconducting circuits and telecom wavelength
light, but also has wide-ranging implications for hybrid quantum networks in the
context of modularization, scaling, sensing, and cross-platform verification.

text: Recent quantum technologies have established precise quantum control of various
microscopic systems using electromagnetic waves. Interfaces based on cryogenic
cavity electro-optic systems are particularly promising, due to the direct interaction
between microwave and optical fields in the quantum regime. Quantum optical control
of superconducting microwave circuits has been precluded so far due to the weak
electro-optical coupling as well as quasi-particles induced by the pump laser.
Here we report the coherent control of a superconducting microwave cavity using
laser pulses in a multimode electro-optical device at millikelvin temperature
with near-unity cooperativity. Both the stationary and instantaneous responses
of the microwave and optical modes comply with the coherent electro-optical interaction,
and reveal only minuscule amount of excess back-action with an unanticipated time
delay. Our demonstration enables wide ranges of applications beyond quantum transductions,
from squeezing and quantum non-demolition measurements of microwave fields, to
entanglement generation and hybrid quantum networks.

text: Practical quantum networks require low-loss and noise-resilient optical interconnects
as well as non-Gaussian resources for entanglement distillation and distributed
quantum computation. The latter could be provided by superconducting circuits
but existing solutions to interface the microwave and optical domains lack either
scalability or efficiency, and in most cases the conversion noise is not known.
In this work we utilize the unique opportunities of silicon photonics, cavity
optomechanics and superconducting circuits to demonstrate a fully integrated,
coherent transducer interfacing the microwave X and the telecom S bands with a
total (internal) bidirectional transduction efficiency of 1.2% (135%) at millikelvin
temperatures. The coupling relies solely on the radiation pressure interaction
mediated by the femtometer-scale motion of two silicon nanobeams reaching a Vπ
as low as 16 μV for sub-nanowatt pump powers. Without the associated optomechanical
gain, we achieve a total (internal) pure conversion efficiency of up to 0.019%
(1.6%), relevant for future noise-free operation on this qubit-compatible platform.

text: "Microwave photonics lends the advantages of fiber optics to electronic sensing
and communication systems. In contrast to nonlinear optics, electro-optic devices
so far require classical modulation fields whose variance is dominated by electronic
or thermal noise rather than quantum fluctuations. Here we demonstrate bidirectional
single-sideband conversion of X band microwave to C band telecom light with a
microwave mode occupancy as low as 0.025 ± 0.005 and an added output noise of
less than or equal to 0.074 photons. This is facilitated by radiative cooling
and a triply resonant ultra-low-loss transducer operating at millikelvin temperatures.
The high bandwidth of 10.7 MHz and total (internal) photon conversion\r\nefficiency
of 0.03% (0.67%) combined with the extremely slow heating rate of 1.1 added output
noise photons per second for the highest available pump power of 1.48 mW puts
near-unity efficiency pulsed quantum transduction within reach. Together with
the non-Gaussian resources of superconducting qubits this might provide the practical
foundation to extend the range and scope of current quantum networks in analogy
to electrical repeaters in classical fiber optic communication."

text: Mechanical systems facilitate the development of a hybrid quantum technology
comprising electrical, optical, atomic and acoustic degrees of freedom1, and entanglement
is essential to realize quantum-enabled devices. Continuous-variable entangled
fields—known as Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) states—are spatially separated two-mode
squeezed states that can be used for quantum teleportation and quantum communication2.
In the optical domain, EPR states are typically generated using nondegenerate
optical amplifiers3, and at microwave frequencies Josephson circuits can serve
as a nonlinear medium4,5,6. An outstanding goal is to deterministically generate
and distribute entangled states with a mechanical oscillator, which requires a
carefully arranged balance between excitation, cooling and dissipation in an ultralow
noise environment. Here we observe stationary emission of path-entangled microwave
radiation from a parametrically driven 30-micrometre-long silicon nanostring oscillator,
squeezing the joint field operators of two thermal modes by 3.40 decibels below
the vacuum level. The motion of this micromechanical system correlates up to 50
photons per second per hertz, giving rise to a quantum discord that is robust
with respect to microwave noise7. Such generalized quantum correlations of separable
states are important for quantum-enhanced detection8 and provide direct evidence
of the non-classical nature of the mechanical oscillator without directly measuring
its state9. This noninvasive measurement scheme allows to infer information about
otherwise inaccessible objects, with potential implications for sensing, open-system
dynamics and fundamental tests of quantum gravity. In the future, similar on-chip
devices could be used to entangle subsystems on very different energy scales,
such as microwave and optical photons.
