Quantum Electromechanics with Two Tone Drive
In the field of mechanics, it is a long standing goal to measure quantum behavior in ever larger and more massive objects. It may seem like an obvious conclusion now, but up until recently it was not clear whether a macroscopic mechanical resonator – built up from nearly 10 atoms – could be fully described as an ideal quantum harmonic oscillator. With recent advances in the fields of optoand el...
متن کاملQuantum Nondemolition Measurement of a Nonclassical State of a Massive Object
By coupling a macroscopic mechanical oscillator to two microwave cavities, we simultaneously prepare and monitor a nonclassical steady state of mechanical motion. In each cavity, correlated radiation pressure forces induced by two coherent drives engineer the coupling between the quadratures of light and motion. We, first, demonstrate the ability to perform a continuous quantum nondemolition me...
متن کاملQuantum Backaction Evading Measurement of Collective Mechanical Modes.
The standard quantum limit constrains the precision of an oscillator position measurement. It arises from a balance between the imprecision and the quantum backaction of the measurement. However, a measurement of only a single quadrature of the oscillator can evade the backaction and be made with arbitrary precision. Here we demonstrate quantum backaction evading measurements of a collective qu...
متن کاملStrong squeezing and robust entanglement in cavity electromechanics
We investigate nonlinear effects in an electromechanical system consisting of a superconducting charge qubit coupled to a transmission line resonator and a nanomechanical oscillator, which in turn is coupled to another transmission line resonator. The nonlinearities induced by the superconducting qubit and the optomechanical coupling play an important role in creating optomechanical entanglemen...
متن کاملThe Effect of Structural Parameters on the Electronic States and Oscillator Strength of a Resonant Tunneling Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector
In this paper a resonant tunnelling quantum well infrared photodetector (RT-QWIP) is discussed. Each period of this photodetector structure comprises of a resonant tunnelling structure (AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs) nearby a quantum well (AlGaAs/GaAs). In this photodetector, photocurrent is produced when an electron makes a transition from the ground state of the well to an excited state which is coupled t...
