Dispersive optomechanics: a membrane inside a cavity
A. M. Jayich, J. C. Sankey, B. M. Zwickl +6
We present the results of theoretical and experimental studies of dispersively coupled (or "membrane in the middle") optomechanical systems. We calculate the linear optical propert…
Qantum theory of optomechanical cooling
Florian Marquardt, A. A. Clerk, S. M. Girvin
We review the quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator subject to the radiation pressure force due to light circulating inside a driven optical cavity. Such optomechani…
Mesoscopic Spin-Boson Models of Trapped Ions
D. Porras, F. Marquardt, J. von Delft +1
Trapped ions arranged in Coulomb crystals provide us with the elements to study the physics of a single spin coupled to a boson bath. In this work we show that optical forces allow…
Strong dispersive coupling of a high finesse cavity to a micromechanical membrane
J. D. Thompson, B. M. Zwickl, A. M. Jayich +3
Macroscopic mechanical objects and electromagnetic degrees of freedom couple to each other via radiation pressure. Optomechanical systems with sufficiently strong coupling are pred…
Measuring the size of a Schroedinger cat state
Florian Marquardt, Benjamin Abel, Jan von Delft
We propose a measure for the "size" of a Schroedinger cat state, i.e. a quantum superposition of two many-body states with (supposedly) macroscopically distinct properties, by coun…
