This five-year, $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research into circuit quantum optics using hybrid quantum systems composed of superconducting qubits coupled to piezoelectric surface acoustic wave devices at Michigan State University. The principal investigator will experimentally investigate novel regimes of circuit quantum optics by leveraging controllable levels of acoustic dissipation from precisely designed surface acoustic wave resonators to autonomously stabilize coherent qubit superpositions and engineer exotic quantum states. Non-classical states of surface acoustic waves will also be transduced from non-classical states of microwave photons using parametric Josephson junction devices to study non-Markovian properties of itinerant piezo-phonons coupled to superconducting qubits. Outcomes will expand fundamental knowledge of highly-controlled synthetic quantum systems and their potential to realize new quantum technologies.
