Integrated optomechanical and superconducting quantum circuits

Prof. Oskar Painter

Caltech

Oskar Painter received his Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1994, his Master of Science degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1995, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2001. He joined the faculty at the California Institute of Technology in 2002, where he is now the John G. Braun Professor of Applied Physics and the co-Director of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute. Prof. Painter's current research interests are in studying the quantum properties of mechanical systems, superconducting quantum circuits, and light matter-interactions of ultra-cold atoms trapped in nanoscale photonic crystals. He has received several awards and recognitions including most recently an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship – an International Award for Research in Germany.

Abstract

I will present recent work at Caltech on the integration of optomechanical crystals for light and sound with electronic superconducting quantum circuits. Utilizing the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer platform, we have made... [ view full abstract ]
