Patent attributes
An optical-microwave-quantum transducer can include a first nanophotonic slab and a second nanophotonic slab. Each of the first and second nanophotonic slabs can include an optical region and a superconducting region. The first nanophotonic slab can include a pair of torsional beams anchored to a substrate to allow relative rotation between the first and second nanophotonic slabs about an axis of rotation. The optical-microwave-quantum transducer can include a gap between the optical region of the first and second nanophotonic slabs that forms an optical cavity in response to an optical signal, wherein the optical cavity can induce mechanical oscillation of the first nanophotonic slab about the axis of rotation. The mechanical oscillation can induce electrical modulation on a superconducting cavity coupled to the superconducting regions of the first and second nanophotonic slabs.
