1. An optoelectronic device, comprising:
at least one superconducting circuit configured to generate or receive an electronic signal dependent on a state of the at least one superconducting circuit; and
an optical transducer coupled to the at least one superconducting circuit, and being configured to associate a modulation state of light in a medium with the state of the at least one superconducting circuit, the optical transducer comprising a material having a tunable Fermi energy dependent on a field effect,
wherein the electronic signal has a modulation corresponding to a modulation of the light.
