A general-purpose interface that can make use of single photon effects requires < 1 input noise quanta, which has remained elusive due to either low efficiency or pump induced heating. Here we demonstrate coherent electro-optic modulation on nanosecond-timescales with only 0.16+0.02−0.01 microwave input noise photons with a total bidirectional transduction efficiency of 8.7% (or up to 15% with 0.41+0.02−0.02), as required for near-term heralded quantum network protocols. The use of short and high-power optical pump pulses also enables near-unity cooperativity of the electro-optic interaction leading to an internal pure conversion efficiency of up to 99.5%. Together with the low mode occupancy this provides evidence for electro-optic laser cooling and vacuum amplification as predicted a decade ago.","lang":"eng"}],"department":[{"_id":"JoFi"}],"date_created":"2022-03-27T22:01:45Z","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","publisher":"Springer Nature","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"12900","status":"public"},{"relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"13175","status":"public"}]},"status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Quantum-enabled operation of a microwave-optical interface","doi":"10.1038/s41467-022-28924-2","publication":"Nature Communications","author":[{"first_name":"Rishabh","last_name":"Sahu","id":"47D26E34-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Sahu, Rishabh","orcid":"0000-0001-6264-2162"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-9868-2166","last_name":"Hease","first_name":"William J","full_name":"Hease, William J","id":"29705398-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-6249-5860","first_name":"Alfredo R","last_name":"Rueda Sanchez","full_name":"Rueda Sanchez, Alfredo R","id":"3B82B0F8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-1397-7876","full_name":"Arnold, Georg M","id":"3770C838-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Georg M","last_name":"Arnold"},{"last_name":"Qiu","first_name":"Liu","full_name":"Qiu, Liu","id":"45e99c0d-1eb1-11eb-9b96-ed8ab2983cac","orcid":"0000-0003-4345-4267"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8112-028X","first_name":"Johannes M","last_name":"Fink","full_name":"Fink, Johannes M","id":"4B591CBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["20411723"]},"external_id":{"isi":["000767892300013"],"arxiv":["2107.08303"]},"ec_funded":1,"article_type":"original","citation":{"mla":"Sahu, Rishabh, et al. “Quantum-Enabled Operation of a Microwave-Optical Interface.” <i>Nature Communications</i>, vol. 13, 1276, Springer Nature, 2022, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28924-2\">10.1038/s41467-022-28924-2</a>.","ieee":"R.
