Quantum Hypercube States
arXiv:1811.03011 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.020402
Abstract
We introduce quantum hypercube states, a class of continuous-variable quantum states that are generated as orthographic projections of hypercubes onto the quadrature phase-space of a bosonic mode. In addition to their interesting geometry, hypercube states display phase-space features much smaller than Planck's constant, and a large volume of Wigner-negativity. We theoretically show that these features make hypercube states sensitive to displacements at extremely small scales in a way that is surprisingly robust to initial thermal occupation and to small separation of the superposed state-components. In a high-temperature proof-of-principle optomechanics experiment we observe, and match to theory, the signature outer-edge vertex structure of hypercube states.
