• Abstract: A scalable hybrid cavity quantum acoustodynamics (QAD) platform is proposed. The architecture integrates superconducting transmon qubits with phononic integrated circuits on a single chip made by lithium niobate-on-sapphire substrate. The platform supports tightly confined and guided phononic modes in unsuspended waveguides and microring structures, while the superconducting qubits reside on the sapphire substrate. Efficient piezoelectric coupling between the phononic modes and transmon qubits can be achieved using interdigital transducers as part of the qubit's shunt capacitance. Numerical calculations demonstrate the feasibility of achieving strong coupling between the phononic microring resonator and the transmon qubit. This hybrid cavity QAD platform opens up new opportunities for quantum information processing and the study of novel quantum acoustic phenomena.

• 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.
