Quantum acoustics is an emerging platform for hybrid quantum technologies enabling quantum coherent control of mechanical vibrations. High-overtone bulk acoustic resonators (HBARs) represent an attractive mechanical implementation of quantum acoustics due to their potential for exceptionally high mechanical coherence. Here, we demonstrate an implementation of high-coherence HBAR quantum acoustics integrated with a planar superconducting qubit architecture, demonstrating an acoustically-induced-transparency regime of high cooperativity and weak coupling, analogous to the electrically-induced transparency in atomic physics. Demonstrating high-coherence quantum acoustics with planar superconducting devices enables new applications for acoustic resonators in quantum technologies.
