Quantum noise of a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer with translucent mechanical oscillator

Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Daniel Friedrich, Tobias Westphal +5

Quantum fluctuations in the radiation pressure of light can excite stochastic motions of mechanical oscillators thereby realizing a linear quantum opto-mechanical coupling. When pe…

Observation of squeezed states with strong photon number oscillations

Moritz Mehmet, Henning Vahlbruch, Nico Lastzka +2

Squeezed states of light constitute an important nonclassical resource in the field of high-precision measurements, e.g. gravitational wave detection, as well as in the field of qu…

Universal Quantum Entanglement between an Oscillator and Continuous Fields

Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Yanbei Chen

Quantum entanglement has been actively sought for in optomechanical and electromechanical systems. The simplest such system is a mechanical oscillator interacting with a coherent b…

Probing macroscopic quantum states with a sub-Heisenberg accuracy

Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Helge Muller-Ebhardt +3

Significant achievements in the reduction of classical-noise floor will allow macroscopic systems to prepare nearly Heisenberg-Limited quantum states through a continuous measureme…

Standard Quantum Limit for Probing Mechanical Energy Quantization

Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Thomas Corbitt +1

We derive a standard quantum limit for probing mechanical energy quantization in a class of systems with mechanical modes parametrically coupled to external degrees of freedom. To…

Quantum state preparation and macroscopic entanglement in gravitational-wave detectors

Helge Mueller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein, Chao Li +5

Long-baseline laser-interferometer gravitational-wave detectors are operating at a factor of 10 (in amplitude) above the standard quantum limit (SQL) within a broad frequency band.…

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Estimation of Quantum States

James DiGuglielmo, Chris Messenger, Jaromir Fiurasek +4

We apply a Bayesian data analysis scheme known as the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to the tomographic reconstruction of quantum states. This method yields a vector, known as the…

Observation of continuous-wave squeezed light at 1550 nm

Moritz Mehmet, Sebastian Steinlechner, Tobias Eberle +4

We report on the generation of continuous-wave squeezed vacuum states of light at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm. The squeezed vacuum states were produced by type I op…
