Quantum limits on measurement and control of a mechanical oscillator

The precision measurement of position has a long-standing tradition in physics. Cavendish's verification of the universal law of gravitation using a torsion pendulum, Perrin's confirmation of the atomic hypothesis via the precise measurement of the Brownia ...

Frequency fluctuations in silicon nanoresonators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Eric Sage, Thomas Alava

Frequency stability is key to the performance of nanoresonators. This stability is thought to reach a limit with the resonator's ability to resolve thermally induced vibrations. Although measurements and predictions of resonator stability usually disregard ...

Near-field characterization of a Bloch-surfacewave-based 2D disk resonator

Hans Peter Herzig, Elsie Barakat, Richa Dubey, Babak Vosoughi Lahijani

We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental investigation of a two-dimensional disk resonator on a dielectric multilayer platform sustaining Bloch surface waves. The disk resonator has been patterned into a few tens of nanometer thin ( ...

Measurement-based control of a mechanical oscillator at its thermal decoherence rate

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Amir Hossein Ghadimi

In real-time quantum feedback protocols(1,2), the record of a continuous measurement is used to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of these protocols in a variety of well-isolated micro-systems, including micr ...

Coherent creation and destruction of orbital wavepackets in Si:P with electrical and optical read-out

The ability to control dynamics of quantum states by optical interference, and subsequent electrical read-out, is crucial for solid state quantum technologies. Ramsey interference has been successfully observed for spins in silicon and nitrogen vacancy cen ...

Heralded Single-Phonon Preparation, Storage, and Readout in Cavity Optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Nicolas Gisin, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

We show how to use the radiation pressure optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and an optical cavity field to generate in a heralded way a single quantum of mechanical motion (a Fock state). Starting with the oscillator close to its grou ...

Communication: On the consistency of approximate quantum dynamics simulation methods for vibrational spectra in the condensed phase

Michele Ceriotti, Mariana Rossi Carvalho

Including quantum mechanical effects on the dynamics of nuclei in the condensed phase is challenging, because the complexity of exact methods grows exponentially with the number of quantum degrees of freedom. Efforts to circumvent these limitations can be ...

Dynamics of Excited Sodium Atoms Attached to Helium Nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Evgeniy Loginov

The dynamics of laser-excited sodium atoms at the surface of helium nanodroplets has been investigated as a function of quantum state. For all cases excitation of the system leads to desorption of the sodium atom from the droplet surface. The mean kinetic ...
