Probing gravitational interaction between milligram optomechanical oscillators operating in the quantum regime

M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli, G. Di Giuseppe +12

We present an ongoing optomechanical experiment aimed at detecting gravitational interaction between milligram-scale oscillators, and exploring its interplay with quantum mechanics…

Optical squeezing mediated by levitated oscillators at their quantum ground state

A. Pontin, Q. Deplano, F. Marino +1

We demonstrate optical squeezing below the shot-noise level generated through the interaction of an optical cavity field with two center-of-mass modes of a levitated nanoparticle,…
