Description
Here I discuss the possibilities to use nanomechanical resonators to converter information between microwave and optical domains. Additionally, I demonstrate an on-chip magnetic-free circulator based on reservoir-engineered electromechanical interactions. Directional circulation is achieved with controlled phase-sensitive interference of six distinct electromechanical signal conversion paths. Finally, I show that a parametrically driven mechanical oscillator can entangle electromagnetic fields. We observe stationary emission of path-entangled microwave radiation from a micro-machined silicon nanostring oscillator, squeezing the joint field operators of two thermal modes by 3.40 (37) ~ dB below the vacuum level.
