TL;DR: In this paper, an artificial atom senses the motional energy of a driven nanomechanical oscillator with sufficient sensitivity to resolve the quantization of its energy, which can be used to distinguish different energy eigenstates using resolvable differences in the atom's transition frequency.

TL;DR: The authors design and demonstrate an on-chip piezo-optomechanical solution which overcomes several technical barriers to reach several orders of magnitude improvement in efficiency.

TL;DR: Moody et al. as discussed by the authors highlighted the current progress in the field of integrated quantum photonics, future challenges, and advances in science and technology needed to meet these challenges and highlighted the transition from single and few-function prototypes to the large-scale integration of multi-functional and reconfigurable QPICs that will define how information is processed, stored, transmitted and utilized for quantum computing, communications, metrology, and sensing.

TL;DR: In this paper, an on-chip piezo-optomechanical transducer was proposed to achieve bidirectional conversion efficiency of $10 − 5 − 5 with a red-detuned optical pump.

TL;DR: An artificial atom senses the motional energy of a driven nanomechanical oscillator with sufficient sensitivity to resolve the quantization of its energy and demonstrates a fully integrated platform for quantum acoustics that combines large couplings, considerable coherence times and excellent control over the mechanical mode structure.
