  text: Recent technical developments in the fields of quantum electromechanics and
    optomechanics have spawned nanoscale mechanical transducers with the sensitivity
    to measure mechanical displacements at the femtometre scale and the ability to
    convert electromagnetic signals at the single photon level. A key challenge in
    this field is obtaining strong coupling between motion and electromagnetic fields
    without adding additional decoherence. Here we present an electromechanical transducer
    that integrates a high-frequency (0.42 GHz) hypersonic phononic crystal with a
    superconducting microwave circuit. The use of a phononic bandgap crystal enables
    quantum-level transduction of hypersonic mechanical motion and concurrently eliminates
    decoherence caused by acoustic radiation. Devices with hypersonic mechanical frequencies
    provide a natural pathway for integration with Josephson junction quantum circuits,
    a leading quantum computing technology, and nanophotonic systems capable of optical
    networking and distributing quantum information.
