Transmon qubits enter circuit nano-electromechanics — •Daniel Schwienbacher1,2, Matthias Pernpeintner1,2,3, Friedrich Wulschner1,2, Philip Schmidt1,2,3, Frank Deppe1,2,3, Achim Marx1, Rudolf Gross1,2,3, and Hans Huebl1,2,3 — 1Walther-Meißner-Institut, Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, 85748 Garching, Germany — 2Physik-Department, TU München, 85748 Garching, Germany — 3Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), 80799 München, Germany
The field of cavity nano-electromechanics combines nano-scale mechanical elements with microwave circuits for the investigation of the light-matter interaction on a quantum level. In this context ground state cooling, electromechanically induced transparency effects, as wells as state transfer between the mechanical and photonic modes have been demonstrated. Recently, Abdi et al.[1] have proposed the integration of a nanomechanical beam into the capacitor of a transmon qubit, which is in turn coupled to a microwave resonator and predicted enhanced electro-mechanical coupling rates as well as the preparation of mechanical Fock states and the generation of three-partite entanglement. Here, we present an experimental study concerning the integration of a nanomechanical beam, a transmon qubit, and a microwave resonator on a single chip. We will discuss fabricational aspects and first spectroscopy data of the device.
