Model of response spectrum and modal interaction in coupled nanomechanical resonators

چکیده
We develop a simple continuum model to analyze the vibrational modes of a nanomechanical multi-element structure. In this model, arrays of sub-micron cantilevers located symmetrically on both sides of the central clamped-clamped nanobeam are replaced by a continuum. In this approach, the punctual shear forces exerted by the cantilevers on the central beam are smoothed out and the equations of motion of the structure become exactly solvable. Our analytical results capture the main features of the vibrational modes observed both numerically and experimentally. Furthermore, using a perturbative approach to treat the nonlinear dynamics of the structure, we establish its frequencyamplitude response and analyze the mechanism of anharmonic coupling between two specific widely spaced modes of the resonator.

Arbitrary distribution and nonlinear modal interaction in coupled nanomechanical resonators
We propose a general one-dimensional continuous formulation to analyze the vibrational modes of antennalike nanomechanical resonators consisting of two symmetric arrays of cantilevers affixed to a central nanobeam. The cantilever arrays can have arbitrary density and length profile along the beam. We obtain the secular equation that allows for the determination of their frequency spectrum and i...

We propose a quantum computing architecture based on the integration of nanomechanical resonators with Josephson-junction phase qubits. The resonators are GHz-frequency, dilatational disk resonators, which couple to the junctions through a piezoelectric interaction. The system is analogous to a collection of tunable few-level atoms (the Josephson junctions) coupled to one or more electromagneti...

Two elastically coupled nanomechanical resonators driven independently near their resonance frequencies show intricate nonlinear dynamics. The dynamics provide a scheme for realizing a nanomechanical system with tunable frequency and nonlinear properties. For large vibration amplitudes, the system develops spontaneous oscillations of amplitude modulation that also show period-doubling transitio...

We study ions in a nanotrap, where the electrodes are nanomechanical resonators. The ions play the role of a quantum optical system that acts as a probe and control, and allows entanglement with or between nanomechanical resonators.
