Ion trap transducers for quantum electromechanical oscillators
W. K. Hensinger, D. W. Utami, H. -S. Goan +3
An enduring challenge for contemporary physics is to experimentally observe and control quantum behavior in macroscopic systems. We show that a single trapped atomic ion could be u…

Squeezing of a nanomechanical resonator by quantum nondemolition measurement and feedback
Rusko Ruskov, Keith Schwab, Alexander N. Korotkov
We analyze squeezing of the nanoresonator state produced by periodic measurement of position by a quantum point contact or a single-electron transistor. The mechanism of squeezing…
