Quantum transduction, the process of converting quantum signals from one form of energy to another, is an important area of quantum science and technology. The present perspective article reviews quantum transduction between microwave and optical photons, an area that has recently seen a lot of activity and progress because of its relevance for connecting superconducting quantum processors over long distances, among other applications. Our review covers the leading approaches to achieving such transduction, with an emphasis on those based on atomic ensembles, opto-electro-mechanics, and electro-optics. We briefly discuss relevant metrics from the point of view of different applications, as well as challenges for the future.

Cavity magnonics (2021, background): “…strongly couple magnons to an optical mode would open up opportunities in quantum technology, such as the optical communication between distant quantum computers with clock frequencies in the MW regime and form an interface between mK and room temperatures (Lambert et al., 2020; Lauk et al., 2020).”
Circuit quantum electrodynamics (2020, background): “A variety of hybrid systems are currently being investigated for this purpose, including electro-optomechanical, electrooptic and magneto-optic ones (Higginbotham et al., 2018; Lambert et al., 2019; Lauk et al., 2020).”
