    That’s really cool! Naively I would have thought that modes of mechanical vibration would have involved too many parts to be able to coherently store quantum information. It would not have occurred to me that the real trick to getting this technology to work is actually not in getting the mechanical resonator to act like a quantum object, but in making it anharmonic so that you can essentially separately address each of the modes.
