Weak-signal conversion from 1550nm to 532nm with 84% efficiency

Aiko Samblowski, Christina E. Vollmer, Christoph Baune +2

We report on the experimental frequency conversion of a dim, coherent continuous-wave light field from 1550nm to 532nm with an external photon-number conversion efficiency of (84.4…

Laser Theory for Optomechanics: Limit Cycles in the Quantum Regime

Niels Lörch, Jiang Qian, Aashish Clerk +2

Optomechanical systems can exhibit self-sustained limit cycles where the quantum state of the mechanical resonator possesses nonclassical characteristics such as a strongly negativ…

Enhancing the sensitivity of the LIGO gravitational wave detector by using squeezed states of light

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

Nearly a century after Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a global network of earth-based gravitational wave observatories is seeking to directly detect…

Locality of temperature

M. Kliesch, C. Gogolin, M. J. Kastoryano +2

This work is concerned with thermal quantum states of Hamiltonians on spin and fermionic lattice systems with short range interactions. We provide results leading to a local defini…

Impact of backscattered light in a squeezing-enhanced interferometric gravitational-wave detector

S. S. Y. Chua, S. Dwyer, L. Barsotti +20

Squeezed states of light have been recently used to improve the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors beyond the quantum limit. To completely establish…

Fundamental quantum interferometry bound for the squeezed-light-enhanced gravitational-wave detector GEO600

Rafal Demkowicz-Dobrzanski, Konrad Banaszek, Roman Schnabel

The fundamental quantum interferometry bound limits the sensitivity of an interferometer for a given total rate of photons and for a given decoherence rate inside the measurement d…

Quantum Teleportation of Dynamics and Effective Interactions Between Remote Systems

Christine A. Muschik, Klemens Hammerer, Eugene S. Polzik +1

Most protocols for Quantum Information Processing consist of a series of quantum gates, which are applied sequentially. In contrast, interactions, for example between matter and fi…

Experimental entanglement distribution by separable states

Christina E. Vollmer, Daniela Schulze, Tobias Eberle +3

The distribution of entanglement between macroscopically separated parties represents a crucial protocol for future quantum information networks. Surprisingly, it has been theoreti…

Tunneling in cosine potential with periodic boundary conditions

Zbigniew Ambrozinski

In this paper we discuss three methods to calculate energy splitting in cosine potential on a circle, Bloch waves, semi--classical approximation and restricted basis approach. Whil…

Dissipative versus Conditional Generation of Gaussian Entanglement and Spin Squeezing

Denis V. Vasilyev, Christine A. Muschik, Klemens Hammerer

Spin squeezing of collective atomic spins can be achieved conditionally via probing with light and subsequent homodyne detection, as is done in a Quantum Nondemolition measurement.…

Cavity-Enhanced Long-Distance Coupling of an Atomic Ensemble to a Micromechanical Membrane

B. Vogell, K. Stannigel, P. Zoller +5

We discuss a hybrid quantum system where a dielectric membrane situated inside an optical cavity is coupled to a distant atomic ensemble trapped in an optical lattice. The coupling…
