Entangling superconducting quantum processors via light would enable new means of secure communication and distributed quantum computing. However, transducing quantum signals between these disparate regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum remains an outstanding goal and interfacing superconducting qubits with electro-optic transducers presents significant challenges due to the deleterious effects of optical photons on superconductors. An ideal transducer should leave the state of the qubit unchanged: more precisely, the backaction from the transducer on the qubit should be minimal.In this work, I demonstrate readout of a superconducting transmon qubit via a low-backaction electro-optomechanical transducer. Requirements for integrating technology from circuit quantum electrodynamics are discussed, and the results of superconducting qubit readout via an electro-optic transducer are presented. The modular nature of the transducer and circuit QED system used in this work enable complete isolation of the superconducting qubit from optical photons, and the backaction on the qubit from the transducer is less than that imparted by thermal radiation from the environment. I show that only moderate improvements in transducer bandwidth and added noise should enable the transduction of non-classical signals from a superconducting qubit to the optical domain.
