- Abstract: Photons at telecom wavelength are the ideal choice for high density
interconnects while solid state qubits in the microwave domain offer strong
interactions for fast quantum logic. Here we present a general purpose,
quantum-enabled interface between itinerant microwave and optical light. We use
a pulsed electro-optic transducer at millikelvin temperatures to demonstrate
nanosecond timescale control of the converted complex mode amplitude with an
input added noise of $N^{oe}_\textrm{in} = 0.16^{+0.02}_{-0.01}$
($N^{eo}_\textrm{in} = 1.11^{+0.15}_{-0.07}$) quanta for the
microwave-to-optics (reverse) direction. Operating with up to unity
cooperativity, this work enters the regime of strong coupling cavity quantum
electro-optics characterized by unity internal efficiency and nonlinear effects
such as the observed laser cooling of a superconducting cavity mode. The high
quantum cooperativity of $C_q>10$ forms the basis for deterministic
entanglement generation between superconducting circuits and light.
