1. A quantum sensor, comprising:
a single-phonon emitter configured to emit a single phonon;
a phononic transducer configured to receive the emitted single phonon from the single-phonon emitter and propagate the single phonon; and
a phonon detector configured to detect an arrival of the propagated single phonon received from the phononic transducer.
