Macroscopic tunneling of a membrane in an optomechanical double-well potential
arXiv:1202.6618 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.210403
Abstract
The macroscopic tunneling of an optomechanical membrane is considered. A cavity mode which couples quadratically to the membranes position can create highly tunable adiabatic double-well potentials, which together with the high Q-factors of such membranes render the observation of macroscopic tunneling possible. A suitable, pulsed measurement scheme using a linearly coupled mode of the cavity for the verification of the effect is studied.
