Abstract: The past decade witnessed major advances in our ability to engineer quantum systems for emerging quantum technologies. In this talk, I will present our work on enabling next-generation integrated microwave, phononic, and photonic quantum technologies in silicon devices. In the first part, I will discuss our work on developing spin-photon interfaces in silicon to enable practical quantum repeater nodes using silicon photonics [1,2]. In the second part, I will discuss how defects in crystalline substrates limit superconducting qubit performance [3], and our approach for addressing defect-induced loss using phononics [4].
