Abstract

Surface acoustic wave-based resonators are sensitive probes of condensed matter systems, as well as surface-selective sensors for chemistry and biology. Surface acoustic wave devices have also been integrated into hybrid quantum systems with qubit platforms for applications in quantum information processing and sensing. The sensitivity of piezoelectric surface wave-based resonators to investigate these various systems can be enhanced by optimizing the device architecture and electrical measurement techniques. Alternatively, tailoring the spectral symmetry, arising from interference effects, offers a promising route to further improve sensitivity. In this work, we demonstrate the simultaneous introduction of both electromagnetic and acoustic Fano interference to shape the spectral response of GHz-frequency surface acoustic wave resonators. By systematically modifying the acoustic reflectivity of the resonators, we are able to isolate and analyze each interference mechanism independently. The broad range of temperature operation, from ambient to cryogenic temperatures highlights the potential for both classical and quantum sensing applications.
