AbstractLight-matter interaction in optomechanical systems is the foundation for ultra-sensitive detection schemes as well as the generation of phononic and photonic quantum states. Electromechanical systems realize this optomechanical interaction in the microwave regime. In this context, capacitive coupling arrangements demonstrated interaction rates of up to 280 Hz. Complementary, early proposals and experiments suggest that inductive coupling schemes are tunable and have the potential to reach the single-photon strong-coupling regime. Here, we follow the latter approach by integrating a partly suspended superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) into a microwave resonator. The mechanical displacement translates into a time varying flux in the SQUID loop, thereby providing an inductive electromechanical coupling. We demonstrate a sideband-resolved electromechanical system with a tunable vacuum coupling rate of up to 1.62 kHz, realizing sub-aN Hz−1/2 force sensitivities. The presented inductive coupling scheme shows the high potential of SQUID-based electromechanics for targeting the full wealth of the intrinsically nonlinear optomechanics Hamiltonian.

A moisture sensor based on a composite resonator is used to measure different honey samples, which include imitation honey. The sensor changes its frequency response in accordance with the dielectric permittivity that it detects in the measured samples. Although reflectometry sensors have been used to measure the percentage of moisture in honey for almost a century, counterfeiters have achieved that their apocryphal product is capable of deceiving these kinds of sensors. Metamaterial features of the composite resonators are expected to improve their response when detecting lossy samples such as organic samples. It is also sought that these sensors manage to detect small differences not only in the real parts of the dielectric permitivities of samples but also in their imaginary parts, and, thus, the sensors are able to discern between real honey and slightly altered honey. Effectively, not only was it possible to improve the response of the sensors by using lossy samples but it was also possible to identify counterfeit honey.

AbstractElectrons on helium form a unique two-dimensional system on the interface of liquid helium and vacuum. A small number of trapped electrons on helium exhibits strong interactions in the absence of disorder, and can be used as a qubit. Trapped electrons typically have orbital frequencies in the microwave regime and can therefore be integrated with circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED), which studies light–matter interactions using microwave photons. Here, we experimentally realize a cQED platform with the orbitals of single electrons on helium. We deterministically trap one to four electrons in a dot integrated with a microwave resonator, allowing us to study the electrons’ response to microwaves. Furthermore, we find a single-electron-photon coupling strength of $$g/2\pi =4.8\pm 0.3$$g∕2π=4.8±0.3 MHz, greatly exceeding the resonator linewidth $$\kappa /2\pi =0.5$$κ∕2π=0.5 MHz. These results pave the way towards microwave studies of Wigner molecules and coherent control of the orbital and spin state of a single electron on helium.
