Measuring the number of phonons, or “sound quanta,” in a mechanical oscillator (left) can be done by connecting it to a superconducting qubit (right), as demonstrated in two new experiments [5, 6]. In one case, the oscillator is a vibrating drumhead, as depicted here, while in the other, the oscillator is an acoustic resonator. Both experiments use distinct quantum transition energies in the qubit to address individual phonon states in the oscillator
