Creating arbitrary quantum vibrational states in a carbon nanotube
arXiv:1608.03068 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.94.205413
Abstract
We theoretically study the creation of single- and multi-phonon Fock states and arbitrary superpositions of quantum phonon states in a nanomechanical carbon nanotube (CNT) resonator. In our model, a doubly clamped CNT resonator is initialized in the ground state and a single electron is trapped in a quantum dot which is formed by a electric gate potential and brought into the magnetic field of a micro-magnet. The preparation of arbitrary quantum phonon states is based on the coupling between the mechanical motion of the CNT and the electron spin which acts as a non-linearity. We assume that electrical driving pulses with different frequencies are applied on the system. The quantum information is transferred from the spin qubit to the mechanical motion by the spin-phonon coupling and the electron spin qubit can be reset by the single-electron spin resonance. We describe Wigner tomography which can be applied at the end to obtain the phase information of the prepared phonon states.
