{"date_created":"2022-03-27T22:01:45Z","volume":13,"abstract":[{"text":"Solid-state microwave systems offer strong interactions for fast quantum logic and sensing but photons at telecom wavelength are the ideal choice for high-density low-loss quantum interconnects. 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"}],"file_date_updated":"2022-03-28T08:02:12Z","scopus_import":"1","_id":"10924","oa":1,"publication":"Nature Communications","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","file":[{"relation":"main_file","file_size":1167492,"checksum":"7c5176db7b8e2ed18a4e0c5aca70a72c","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2022-03-28T08:02:12Z","date_updated":"2022-03-28T08:02:12Z","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2022_NatureCommunications_Sahu.pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"10929"}],"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","isi":1,"user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","department":[{"_id":"JoFi"}],"day":"11","publisher":"Springer Nature","author":[{"id":"47D26E34-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Sahu, Rishabh","last_name":"Sahu","first_name":"Rishabh","orcid":"0000-0001-6264-2162"},{"id":"29705398-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Hease, William J","last_name":"Hease","first_name":"William J"},{"last_name":"Rueda Sanchez","orcid":"0000-0001-6249-5860","first_name":"Alfredo R","id":"3B82B0F8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Rueda Sanchez, Alfredo R"},{"full_name":"Arnold, Georg M","id":"3770C838-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Georg M","last_name":"Arnold"},{"full_name":"Qiu, Liu","id":"45e99c0d-1eb1-11eb-9b96-ed8ab2983cac","orcid":"0000-0003-4345-4267","first_name":"Liu","last_name":"Qiu"},{"first_name":"Johannes M","orcid":"0000-0001-8112-028X","last_name":"Fink","full_name":"Fink, Johannes M","id":"4B591CBA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"status":"public","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","external_id":{"isi":["000767892300013"],"arxiv":["2107.08303"]},"date_updated":"2023-08-03T06:21:11Z","oa_version":"Published Version","has_accepted_license":"1","doi":"10.1038/s41467-022-28924-2","article_type":"original","type":"journal_article","acknowledgement":"The authors thank S.
