Aug212020 Doctoral thesisQuantum acoustics with propagating phononsSurface acoustic waves (SAWs) are mechanical vibrations that propagate on the surface of solids while dissipating little power, consequently enabling them to propagate freely over long distances. The speed and wavelength of SAWs are reduced a five... Author: Maria Ekström.
