These devices have greatly improved our ability to process microwaves by interfacing them to orders-of- magnitude slower and lower loss mechanical fields. In parallel, long-distance communications have been dominated by low-loss infrared optical photons. As electrical signal processing and transmission approaches physical limits imposed by energy dissipation, optical links are now being actively considered for mobile and cloud technologies. Thus there is a strong driver for wavelength-scale mechanical wave or “phononic” circuitry fabricated by scalable semiconduc- tor processes. With the advent of these circuits, new micro- and nanostructures that combine electrical, optical and mechanical elements have emerged. In these devices, such as optomechan- ical waveguides and resonators, optical photons and gigahertz phonons are ideally matched to one another as both have wavelengths on the order of micrometers. The development of phononic circuits has thus emerged as a vibrant field of research pursued for optical signal pro- cessing and sensing applications as well as emerging quantum technologies. In this review, we discuss the key physics and figures of merit underpinning this field.

Berlynskoho Str., Kyiv, 04060, Ukraine Abstract. An analysis of the experience of professional training bachelors of electromechanics in Ukraine and abroad made it possible to determine that one of the leading trends in its modernization is the synergistic integration of various engineering branches (mechanical, electrical, electronic engineering and automation) in mechatronics for the purpose of design, manufacture, operation and maintenance electromechanical equipment. Teaching mechatronics provides for the meaningful integration of various disciplines of professional and practical training bachelors of electromechanics based on the concept of modeling and technological integration of various organizational forms and teaching methods based on the concept of mobility. Within this approach, the leading learning tools of bachelors of electromechanics are mobile Internet devices (MID) – a multimedia mobile devices that provide wireless access to information and communication Internet services for collecting, organizing, storing, processing, transmitting, presenting all kinds of messages and data.

SYDNEY __ ~__ To our parents I_ PREFACE Part I: Discrete Systems In the early 1950's the option structure was abandoned and a common core curriculum was instituted for all electrical engineering students at M.I.T. The objective of the core curriculum was then, and is now, to provide a foundation in mathematics and science on which a student can build in his professional growth, regardless of the many opportunities in electrical engineering from which he may choose. In meeting this objective, core curriculum subjects cannot serve the needs of any professional area with respect to nomenclature, techniques, and problems unique to that area. Specialization comes in elective subjects, graduate study, and professional activities. To be effective a core curriculum subject must be broad enough to be germane to the many directions an electrical engineer may go professionally, yet it must have adequate depth to be of lasting value.

PMMIs serve critical functions in photonic quantum information processing, quantum-enhanced sensor networks, machine learning and other applications. However, PMMI implementations reported to date rely on thermo-optic phase shifters, which limit applications due to slow response times and high power consumption. Here, we introduce a large-scale PMMI platform, based on a 200 mm CMOS process, that uses aluminum nitride (AlN) piezo-optomechanical actuators coupled to silicon nitride (SiN) waveguides, enabling low-loss propagation with phase modulation at greater than 100 MHz in the visible to near-infrared wavelengths. Moreover, the vanishingly low holding-power consumption of the piezo-actuators enables these PICs to operate at cryogenic temperatures, paving the way for a fully integrated device architecture for a range of quantum applications.

Schlesinger Director, Data Storage Systems Center Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA, USA 30 November 2004 OutlineOutline Limits in information storage systems and IC fabrication technology are being approached THESE ARE REAL but are not fundamental in the sense of insurmountable laws of nature. Information storage today is an application of nanotechnology. Further advances in nanotechnology will bring unprecedented storage capacity that will fundamentally change the way we think about information. The integration of information storage and information processing will create a new paradigm to take us beyond CMOS technology. A Report from the U.S. National Science Foundation Blue Ribbon Panel on Cyberinfrastructure Daniel E. Atkins The University of Michigan Chair, NSF Panel on Cyberinfrastructure January 2003 “….cyberinfrastructure refers to infrastructure based upon distributed computer, information and communication technology. If infrastructure is required for an industrial economy, then we could say that cyberinfrastructure is required for a knowledge economy….. The base technologies underlying cyberinfrastructure are the integrated electro- optical components of computation, storage, and communication that continue to advance in raw capacity at exponential rates.” TheThe NeedNeed forfor StorageStorage New stored information grew about 30% a year between 1999 and 2002. Information flows through electronic channels -- telephone, radio, TV, and the Internet -- contained almost 18 exabytes (exabyte=1018 bytes) of new information in 2002, three and a half times more than is recorded in storage media.

  • PMQ29 Optomechanics and Electromechanics: Physics and Applications
    PMQ29 " Optomechanics and Electromechanics: Physics and Applications" Organisateurs : Pierre-François Cohadon, Daniel Lanzillotti-Kimura, Pierre Verlot Parrainage ou lien avec des sociétés savantes, des GDR ou autres structures : Parrainage : GdR Optomécanique et Nanomécanique Quantique (MecaQ) Autres liens : GdR Ondes Gravitationnelles, GdR IQFA, GdR Ondes, GdR Meso, GdR Graphene & Co Résumé Optomechanics is the field of physics that investigates the reciprocal interaction between mechanical motion and the electromagnetic field (1). Originally driven by questions such as fundamental processes in quantum measurements, and the extent of quantum principles to the macroscopic scale (2), the field has expanded to a variety of fundamental and technological challenges. These notably include nanomechanical sensors (3), quantum transducers(4), quantum hybrid systems (5,6), nano-phononics (7), ultra-fast opto-acoustic platforms (8), thermodynamics (9,10) and all the corresponding applications (11–14). 25 years after its emergence, Optomechanics establishes as an important field of research worldwide. The rapid and impressive progress, including the first demonstration of optomechanical systems operating in the quantum regime in the early 2010’s (15,16), are driving major innovation and technological renewal, with a strong interdisciplinary impact. The mini-colloquium ‘Optomechanics and Electromechanics: Physics and Applications’ aims at reviewing the interdisciplinary nature of our field, ranging from quantum devices for information technology to nanomechanical bio-sensing. It will also represent a unique occasion for early-stage researchers to discover the community and present their own contribution, opening new opportunities in a rapidly evolving field.
