Macroscopic Quantum Test with Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators

Bjorn Schrinski et al.

Summary: Recently, solid-state mechanical resonators have been used to demonstrate nonclassical behavior of systems with a large number of particles. In this study, the most macroscopic quantum test in a mechanical resonator was performed, ruling out classical description at the microgram mass scale. The Wigner function of a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator mode was directly measured, and the gradual decay of negativities over tens of microseconds was observed. Future improvements could allow testing of the quantum superposition principle at unprecedented scales and placing more stringent bounds on spontaneous collapse models.

Sub-terahertz electromechanics

Jiacheng Xie et al.

Summary: Researchers have discovered that incorporating a millimetre-wave dual-rail resonator into a suspended lithium niobate resonator can achieve efficient electromechanical transduction in the sub-terahertz regime. These electromechanical resonators operating in the sub-terahertz regime could be of great importance in future communication systems due to their ability to support extremely fast data rates. These resonators also have significant implications in the study of quantum phenomena in mechanical entities.

Magnetic Field-Resilient Quantum-Limited Parametric Amplifier

Mingrui Xu et al.

Summary: Superconducting parametric amplifiers are crucial in microwave quantum circuits for achieving quantum-limited signal readout. In order to overcome the sensitivity to magnetic fields, a kinetic inductance-based parametric amplifier with a NbN nanobridge is developed. This amplifier has excellent noise performance and is resilient to magnetic fields up to 427 mT, providing opportunities for addressing single electron-spin resonance and searching for axions and Majorana fermions.

Characterization of the Elastic, Piezoelectric, and Dielectric Properties of Lithium Niobate from 25 °C to 900 °C Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Resonance Method

Sevan Bouchy et al.

Summary: This paper provides a complete set of elastic and piezoelectric coefficients, as well as complex dielectric constants and electrical conductivity, for lithium niobate (LiNbO3) at high temperatures. The study found that the dominant piezoelectric stress constant remained virtually constant between 25 degrees C and 600 degrees C, but decreased by approximately 10% between 600 degrees C and 900 degrees C. The elastic stiffness coefficients decreased as the temperature increased, while the dielectric constants increased exponentially with temperature.

M. Virginia P. Altoe et al.

Summary: In this study, the thickness, chemical composition, and location of oxides in superconducting circuits were determined using a combination of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and analytical scanning transmission electron microscopy. The respective contributions of these oxides to the single-photon quality factor were quantified. By selectively reducing the oxide thickness through chemical etching, the losses were significantly decreased, leading to improved performance of the superconducting circuits.
