• Abstract summary: We show that a large electric dipole moment of an exciton in an optically active quantum dot molecule (QDM) efficiently couples to a microwave resonator field at a single-photon level. Thanks to the fast exciton decay rate in the QDM, the bandwidth between an optical and microwave resonator photon reaches several 100s of MHz.

• Abstract: Quantum transduction between the microwave and optical domains is an outstanding challenge for long-distance quantum networks based on superconducting qubits. For all transducers realized to date, the generally weak light-matter coupling does not allow high transduction efficiency, large bandwidth, and low noise simultaneously. Here we show that a large electric dipole moment of an exciton in an optically active self-assembled quantum dot molecule (QDM) efficiently couples to a microwave resonator field at a single-photon level. This allows for transduction between microwave and optical photons without coherent optical pump fields to enhance the interaction. With an on-chip device, we demonstrate a sizeable single-photon coupling strength of 16 MHz. Thanks to the fast exciton decay rate in the QDM, the transduction bandwidth between an optical and microwave resonator photon reaches several 100s of MHz.
