DOI: 10.1088/1612-202x/ae1e69
Abstract: Microwave-to-optical conversion is essential for connecting superconducting quantum processors with optical quantum networks, but detecting weak input signals typically requires operating in the strong-coupling regime with large cooperativity, which imposes stringent experimental constraints. We propose… read more here.
