Acoustic modes—in the form of collective vibrations trapped between the parallel and polished surfaces of a crystalline cavity—provide an intriguing opportunity for probing the quantum-mechanical regime of macroscopical mechanical resonators. Moreover, the exceptional quality factors in a compact size from mm to μm motivate the integration of acoustic resonators into quantum circuits to explore the applications of a quantum hybrid system.While the acoustic modes of a crystal are commonly isolated from electrical dynamics, piezoelectricityis employed to transduce energy between the two domains. In the first part of this thesis, we investigate the means to improve the quality factor of a low frequency plano-convex monolithic quartz resonato...
