Numerical study of energy loss by a nanomechanical oscillator coupled to a Cooper-pair box

چکیده
We calculate the dynamics of a nanomechanical oscillator NMO coupled capacitively to a Cooper-pair box CPB by solving a stochastic Schrödinger equation with two Lindblad operators Commun. Math. Phys. 48, 119 1976 . . Both the NMO and the CPB are assumed dissipative, and the coupling is treated within the rotating wave approximation. We show numerically that, if the CPB decay time is smaller than the NMO decay time, the coupled NMO will lose energy faster and the coupled CPB more slowly than the uncoupled NMO and CPB do. The results show that the efficiency of energy loss by an NMO can be substantially increased if the NMO is coupled to a CPB.

Coherent-incoherent transition in a Cooper-pair-box coupled to a quantum oscillator: an equilibrium approach
Abstract: Temperature effect on quantum tunneling in a Cooper-pair-box coupled to a quantum oscillator is studied by both numerical and analytical calculations. It is found that, in strong coupling regions, coherent tunneling of a Cooper-pair-box can be destroyed by its coupling to a quantum oscillator and the tunneling becomes thermally activated as the temperature rises, leading to failure of...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement of a Coupled Nanomechanical Resonator—Cooper-Pair Box System
We show two effects as a result of considering the second-order correction to the spectrum of a nanomechanical resonator electrostatically coupled to a Cooper-pair box. The spectrum of the Cooper-pair box is modified in a way which depends on the Fock state of the resonator. Similarly, the frequency of the resonator becomes dependent upon the state of the Cooper-pair box. We consider whether th...
متن کاملEngineering quantum states of a nanoresonator via a simple auxiliary system.
We show how to engineer an extensive range of nonlinear Hamiltonians for a nanomechanical resonator. The technique requires only a time-dependent drive applied to a Cooper-pair box or second oscillator to which the nanoresonator is coupled. This method allows one to generate a large number of nonclassical states, as well as Hamiltonians whose classical counterparts are chaotic.
متن کاملMass spectrometry based on a coupled Cooper-pair box and nanomechanical resonator system
Nanomechanical resonators (NRs) with very high frequency have a great potential for mass sensing with unprecedented sensitivity. In this study, we propose a scheme for mass sensing based on the NR capacitively coupled to a Cooper-pair box (CPB) driven by two microwave currents. The accreted mass landing on the resonator can be measured conveniently by tracking the resonance frequency shifts bec...
متن کاملGround state cooling of a nanomechanical resonator via a Cooper pair box qubit
In this paper we present a scheme for ground state cooling of a flexural mode of a nanomechanical beam incorporated in a loop-shaped Cooper-pair box (CPB) circuit. Via the Lorentz force coupling of the beam motion to circulating CPB-circuit currents, energy is transferred to the CPB qubit which acts as a dissipative two-level system. The cooling process is driven by a detuned gate-voltage drive...
