Operating at T < 100 mK temperatures, as required for quantum electrical circuits, we demonstrate a mechanically mediated microwave–optical converter with 47% conversion efficiency, and use a classical feed-forward protocol to reduce added noise to 38 photons. The feed-forward protocol harnesses our discovery that noise emitted from the two converter output ports is strongly correlated because both outputs record thermal motion of the same mechanical mode. We also discuss a quantum feed-forward protocol that, given high system efficiencies, would allow quantum information to be transferred even when thermal phonons enter the mechanical element faster than the electro-optic conversion rate.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"status":"public","oa_version":"Preprint","date_published":"2018-10-01T00:00:00Z","type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.06535"}],"volume":14,"extern":"1","citation":{"mla":"Higginbotham, Andrew P., et al. “Harnessing Electro-Optic Correlations in an Efficient Mechanical Converter.” <i>Nature Physics</i>, vol. 14, no. 10, Springer Nature, 2018, pp. 1038–42, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-018-0210-0\">10.1038/s41567-018-0210-0</a>.","ista":"Higginbotham AP, Burns PS, Urmey MD, Peterson RW, Kampel NS, Brubaker BM, Smith G, Lehnert KW, Regal CA. 2018.
