DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Konrad Lehnert\nhosted by Johannes Fink\nAbstract: Dev
 ices that combined electricity with moving parts were crucial to the very 
 earliest electronic communications. Today\, electromechanical structures a
 re ubiquitous yet under-appreciated signal processing elements. These devi
 ces exploit the relative slowness of sound compared to light to create com
 pact filter and clock elements. Moreover they convert force and accelerati
 on signals into more easily processed electrical signals. Can these humble
 \, apparently classical\, objects exhibit genuinely quantum behavior? Inde
 ed\, by strongly coupling the vibrations of a micromechanical oscillator t
 o microwave frequency electrical signals\, a mechanical oscillator can inh
 erit a quantum state from an electrical signal. This exciting result heral
 ds the development of quantum processors or quantum enhanced sensors that 
 exploit the unique properties of mechanical systems. Furthermore\, quantum
  electromechanics provides a powerful and versatile way to bring ever larg
 er\, more tangible objects into non-classical regimes. In this talk\, I wi
 ll describe the how we use electromechanical devices to move information i
 n time and frequency\, while preserving its quantum character.\n
