Entanglement and decoherence of a micromechanical resonator via coupling to a Cooper box

arXiv:cond-mat/0112403 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.148301

Abstract

We analyse the quantum dynamics of a micromechanical resonator capacitively coupled to a Cooper box. With appropriate quantum state control of the Cooper box, the resonator can be driven into a superposition of spatially separated states. The Cooper box can also be used to probe the environmentally-induced decoherence of the resonator superposition state.
