Imaging Correlations in Heterodyne Spectra for Quantum Displacement Sensing.
The extraordinary sensitivity of the output field of an optical cavity to small quantum-scale displacements has led to breakthroughs such as the first detection of gravitational waves and of the motions of quantum ground-state cooled mechanical oscillators. While heterodyne detection of the output optical field of an optomechanical system exhibits asymmetries which provide a key signature that ...
متن کاملQuantum 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 کاملNoise-free measurement of harmonic oscillators with instantaneous interactions.
We present a method of measuring the quantum state of a harmonic oscillator through instantaneous probe-system selective interactions of the Jaynes-Cummings type. We prove that this scheme is robust to general decoherence mechanisms, allowing the possibility of measuring fast-decaying systems in the weak-coupling regime. This method could be applied to different setups: motional states of trapp...
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...
متن کاملبررسی ویژگیهای قدرت خط و نیروی نوسانگر اتمهای نقره و طلا با استفاده از نظریه تقریب کولنی
Single-valence electron atoms are an important class of atoms. Their oscillator strengths are their important properties. Knowing the oscillator strengths one can easity calculate the transition probabilities of the spectral lines and hence the lifetimes of energy levels of most atoms. The oscillator strengths of the spectral lines of most atoms are not knoen with sufficient accuracy due to t...
