Flux-mediated optomechanics with a transmon qubit in the single-photon ultrastrong-coupling regime

We propose a scheme for controlling a radio-frequency mechanical resonator at the quantum level using a superconducting qubit. The mechanical part of the circuit consists of a suspended micrometer-long beam that is embedded in the loop of a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and is...
