| contents | Mechanical systems are pivotal in quantum technologies because of their long coherent time and versatile coupling to qubit systems. So far, the coherent and dynamic control of gigahertz-frequency mechanical modes mostly relies on optomechanical coupling and piezoelectric coupling to superconducting qubits. Here, we demonstrate on-chip cavity electro-acoustic dynamics using our microwave-frequency electrically-modulated phononic-crystal (PnC) resonators on lithium niobate (LN). Leveraging the high dispersion of PnC, our phononic modes space unevenly in the frequency spectrum, emulating atomic energy levels. Atomic-like transitions between different phononic modes are achieved by applying electrical fields to modulate phononic modes via nonlinear piezoelectricity of LN. Among two modes, we demonstrate Autler-Townes splitting (ATS), alternating current (a.c.) Stark shift, and Rabi oscillation with a maximum cooperativity of 4.18. Extending to three modes, we achieve non-reciprocal frequency conversions with an isolation up to 20 dB. Nonreciprocity can be tuned by the time delay between the two modulating pulses. Our cavity electro-acoustic platform could find broad applications in sensing, microwave signal processing, phononic computing, and quantum acoustics. |
