Laser Cooling of a Nanomechanical Oscillator to Its Zero-Point Energy

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

Optomechanical systems in the well-resolved-sideband regime are ideal for studying a myriad of quantum phenomena with mechanical systems, including backaction-evading measurements, mechanical squeezing, and nonclassical states generation. For these experim ...

Atomistic-continuum coupling of random alloys

William Curtin, Till Junge, Shankha Nag

Random alloys are multicomponent systems where the atomic type on each lattice site is independent of the atom types on any other lattice site. The fluctuations in local atomic configurations inherent to the random alloy prevents the accurate application o ...

Experimental Observation of Topological Fano Resonances for Audible Sound

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

The Fano resonance is a widespread wave scattering phenomenon observed in many different systems, from cold atom physics, to electromagnetics, electronic circuits, and acoustics. It is characterized by a very sharp and asymmetric scattering cross-section s ...

Universal noise in continuous transport measurements of interacting fermions

Jean-Philippe Brantut

We propose and analyze continuous measurements of atom number and atomic currents using dispersive probing in an optical cavity. For an atom-number measurement in a closed system, we relate both the detection noise and the heating rate due to measurement b ...

Band and Correlated Insulators of Cold Fermions in a Mesoscopic Lattice

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Thierry Giamarchi, Samuel Häusler

We investigate the transport properties of neutral, fermionic atoms passing through a one-dimensional quantum wire containing a mesoscopic lattice. The lattice is realized by projecting individually controlled, thin optical barriers on top of a ballistic c ...

Atomic-scale sensing of the magnetic dipolar field from single atoms

Donat Fabian Natterer

Spin resonance provides the high-energy resolution needed to determine biological and material structures by sensing weak magnetic interactions(1). In recent years, there have been notable achievements in detecting(2) and coherently controlling(3-7) indivi ...

Structured and porous materials particularly suitable as polarizing agents in dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization

David Lyndon Emsley, Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Aurélien Bornet, Sami Jannin, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan, David Baudouin

The present invention concerns materials consisting in a porous and structured network, this network being at least in part formed by Si atoms, or Si atoms and metal atoms, linked to each other by oxy bridges, comprising organic molecules which include at ...

Haldane quantum Hall effect for light in a dynamically modulated array of resonators

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

Topological insulators have attracted abundant attention for a variety of reasons-notably, the possibility for lossless energy transport through edge states "protected" against disorder. Topological effects such as the quantum Hall state can be induced thr ...

Thermodynamics of the Segregation of a Kinetically Trapped Two-Dimensional Amorphous Metal-Organic Network

Klaus Kern, Claudius Morchutt

Surface-confined self-assembled molecular networks are commonly described as crystalline structures with short- and long-range order. Few exceptions to this trend are found in the literature reporting on amorphous and glassy networks and, discussing the or ...

Thermodynamic properties of average-atom interatomic potentials for alloys

William Curtin, Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The atomistic mechanisms of deformation in multicomponent random alloys are challenging to model because of their extensive structural and compositional disorder. For embedded-atom-method interatomic potentials, a formal averaging procedure can generate an ...
