Squeezing below the ground state of motion of a continuously monitored levitating nanoparticle
Qiongyuan Wu, Diana A. Chisholm, Rafael Muffato +5
Squeezing is a crucial resource for quantum information processing and quantum sensing. In levitated nanomechanics, squeezed states of motion can be generated via temporal control…
Macroscopic Quantum Resonators Path Finder (MAQRO-PF) White Paper
Jack Homans, Laura da Palma Barbara, Jakub Wardak +3
Optically levitated particles are used in a wide range of experiments to explore both fundamental physics and to act as sensors to a variety of external forces. One field of partic…
An experimental platform for levitated mechanics in space
Jack Homans, Elliot Simcox, Jakub Wardak +9
Conducting levitated mechanical experiments in extreme conditions has long been the aim of researchers, as it allows for the investigation of new fundamental physics phenomena. One…
Generation of classical non-Gaussian distributions by squeezing a thermal state into non-linear motion of levitated optomechanics
Rafael Muffato, Tiberius Georgescu, Jack Homans +6
We report on an experiment achieving the dynamical generation of non-Gaussian states of motion of a levitated optomechanical system. We access intrinsic Duffing-like nonlinearities…
