- Abstract: Efficient transduction devices that reversibly convert optical and microwave
quantum signals into each other are essential for integrating different
technologies. Rare-earth ions in solids, and in particular Erbium ions, with
both optical and microwave addressable transitions are promising candidates for
designing transducers. We propose a microwave-to-optical quantum transducer
scheme based on the dark state protocol in $\mathrm{^{167}Er}$ doped into
yttrium orthosilicate (YSO) at zero external magnetic fields. Zero-field
operation is beneficial for superconducting resonators that can incur extra
losses in magnetic fields. By calculating the fidelity and efficiency of the
transducer, considering the most important imperfections, we show that an
efficient conversion is possible with a high fidelity. We also investigate the
microwave transitions of $\mathrm{^{167}Er}$:YSO that can be used for the
transducer protocol.
