Optical backaction-evading measurement of a mechanical oscillator

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

Quantum mechanics imposes a limit on the precision of a continuous position measurement of a harmonic oscillator, due to backaction arising from quantum fluctuations in the measurement field. This standard quantum limit can be surpassed by monitoring only ...

Floquet dynamics in the quantum measurement of mechanical motion

Tobias Kippenberg, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni, Marie Adrienne Ioannou

The radiation-pressure interaction between one or more laser fields and a mechanical oscillator gives rise to a wide range of phenomena: From sideband cooling and backaction-evading measurements to ponderomotive and mechanical squeezing to entanglement and ...

Chiral charge dynamics in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Adrien Florio

We study fermion number non-conservation (or chirality breaking) in Abelian gauge theories at finite temperature. We consider the presence of a chemical potential mu for the fermionic charge, and monitor its evolution with real-time classical lattice simul ...

Exact diagonalization study of the Hubbard-parametrized four-spin ring exchange model on a square lattice

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Noore Elahi Shaik, Sofie Janas

We have used exact numerical diagonalization to study the excitation spectrum and the dynamic spin correlations in the s = 1/2 next-next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square lattice, with additional four-spin ring exchange from higher- ...

Building a Casimir metrology platform with a commercial MEMS sensor

Matthias Imboden

The Casimir Effect is a physical manifestation of quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum. When two metal plates are placed close together, typically much less than a micron, the long wavelength modes between them are frozen out, giving rise to ...

The S-matrix bootstrap. Part III: higher dimensional amplitudes

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Jonathan Campbell Toledo

We consider constraints on the S-matrix of any gapped, Lorentz invariant quantum field theory in 3+1 dimensions due to crossing symmetry, analyticity and unitarity. We extremize cubic couplings, quartic couplings and scattering lengths relevant for the ela ...

Development of a monolithic near-field optomechanical system

Ryan Daniel Schilling

In the same year as Einstein's annus mirabilis, English engineer and physicist John Flemming patented the first rectifying diode, which he called the "Flemming valve". Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect would change our understanding of the nature ...

Hydrogen Diffusion and Trapping in α-Iron: The Role of Quantum and Anharmonic Fluctuations

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of a hydrogen interstitial in magnetic α-iron, taking account of the quantum fluctuations of the proton as well as the anharmonicities of lattice vibrations and hydrogen hopping. We show that the diffusivity o ...
