  bibo_abstract:
  - An optical network of superconducting quantum bits (qubits) is an appealing platform
    for quantum communication and distributed quantum computing, but developing a
    quantum-compatible link between the microwave and optical domains remains an outstanding
    challenge. Operating at T < 100 mK temperatures, as required for quantum electrical
    circuits, we demonstrate a mechanically mediated microwave–optical converter with
    47% conversion efficiency, and use a classical feed-forward protocol to reduce
    added noise to 38 photons. The feed-forward protocol harnesses our discovery that
    noise emitted from the two converter output ports is strongly correlated because
    both outputs record thermal motion of the same mechanical mode. We also discuss
    a quantum feed-forward protocol that, given high system efficiencies, would allow
    quantum information to be transferred even when thermal phonons enter the mechanical
    element faster than the electro-optic conversion rate.@eng
