From: A phononic crystal coupled to a transmission line via an artificial atom

Four qubits are designed with three different phononic crystal periods: a1 ≈ 1.1 μm, a2 ≈ 1.0 μm, a3 = a4 ≈ 0.95 μm. Three of these qubits demonstrate their interaction with quasinormal modes (QNMs) at their predicted frequencies around 2.8 GHz (AC 1), 3.1 GHz (AC 2), and 3.3 GHz (AC 3). The fourth qubit spectrum is below its mechanical mode frequency, and, therefore, it does not have an anticrossing.
