By bringing the benefits of mechanical systems into the extremely small scales of the quantum realm, Stanford researchers have demonstrated new capabilities by coupling tiny nanomechanical oscillators with a type of circuit that can store and process energy in the form of a qubit. The aim is to create advanced computing and sensing devices. Link
