Quantum Optics at 100GHz
Abstract
Major Goals: Develop 100GHz single-photon-level spectroscopy system, for novel mm wave circuit QED platform and optical-to-mm wave interconnection via Rydbergs. Accomplishments: We developed a 100GHz single-photon-level spectroscopy system, for novel mm wave circuit QED platform and optical-to-mm wave interconnection via Rydbergs. We have thus far employed this system to develop 2D NbN, bulk Nb, and Nb-coated-Si photonic crystal 100GHz cavities. The 2D NbN cavities exhibit high kinetic inductance and are thus ideal as weakly nonlinear devices to be employed for 10<->100GHz interconversion. The bulk Nb resonators are seamless with a mode volume of approximately 0.2\lambda^3, with finesses of 3*10^7, making them ideal for optical/mm wave joint quantum optics experiments. Nb-coated-Si photonic crystal cavities demonstrate that micromachining his a viable approach for creating high quality factor cavities.
