  • Phoniton systems, devices, and methods
    Patent number: 9397293
    Abstract: An artificial composite object combines a quantum of sound with a matter excitation. A phonon in a confinement structure containing the matter excites it from an initial state to an excited state corresponding to a frequency of the phonon. Relaxation of the matter back to the initial state emits a phonon of the same frequency into the confinement structure. The phonon confinement structure, for example, a cavity, traps the emitted phonon thereby allowing further excitation of the matter. The coupling between the phonon and the matter results in a quantum quasi-particle referred to as a phoniton. The phoniton can find application in a wide variety of quantum systems such as signal processing and communications devices, imaging and sensing, and information processing.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 19, 2016
    Assignees: University of Maryland, College Park, The United States of America, as represented by the Director, National Security Agency
    Inventors: Charles George Tahan, Rousko Todorov Hristov, Oney O. Soykal
