Realization of an optomechanical interface between ultracold atoms and a membrane
Stephan Camerer, Maria Korppi, Andreas Jöckel +3
We have realized a hybrid optomechanical system by coupling ultracold atoms to a micromechanical membrane. The atoms are trapped in an optical lattice, which is formed by retro-ref…
Coupling ultracold atoms to mechanical oscillators
David Hunger, Stephan Camerer, Maria Korppi +3
In this article we discuss and compare different ways to engineer an interface between ultracold atoms and micro- and nanomechanical oscillators. We start by analyzing a direct mec…
Spectroscopy of mechanical dissipation in micro-mechanical membranes
Andreas Jöckel, Matthew T. Rakher, Maria Korppi +4
We measure the frequency dependence of the mechanical quality factor (Q) of SiN membrane oscillators and observe a resonant variation of Q by more than two orders of magnitude. The…
Bose-Einstein condensate coupled to a nanomechanical resonator on an atom chip
Philipp Treutlein, David Hunger, Stephan Camerer +2
We theoretically study the coupling of Bose-Einstein condensed atoms to the mechanical oscillations of a nanoscale cantilever with a magnetic tip. This is an experimentally viable…
