• Abstract: Quantum nonreciprocal devices have received extensive attention in recent years because they can be used to realize unidirectional quantum routing and noise isolation. In this work, we show that the shift of resonance frequencies of propagating phonons induced by spin-orbit interactions (SOI) of phonons in a rotating acoustic ring cavity can be used to realize nonreciprocal phonon blockade. When driving the cavity from different directions, nonreciprocal single-, two-phonon blockade and phonon-induced tunneling can take place by varying the parameters of the system to an appropriate value. To realize phonon blockade, the sublevels of the lower orbit branch of the ground state of silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers in the diamond membrane are employed to induce self-interactions of phonons in the cavity. This work provides a way to achieve acoustic nonreciprocal devices, such as directional acoustic switches and quantum noise isolation, which may help acoustic information network processing.

• Acoustic diamond resonators with ultra-small mode volumes [0.0]
  We propose a novel design for a versatile diamond QAD cavity operating at GHz, exhibiting effective mode volumes of about $10-4lambda3$. Our phononic crystal waveguide cavity implements a non-resonant analogue of the optical lightning-rod effect to localize the energy of an acoustic mode into a deeply-subwavelength volume. This architecture can be readily translated towards setup with multiple cavities in one- or two-dimensional phononic crystals, and the underlying non-resonant localization mechanism will pave the way to further enhance optoacoustic coupling in phoxonic crystal cavities.
