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…
Large amplitude mechanical coherent states and detection of weak nonlinearities in cavity optomechanics
Wenlin Li, Paolo Piergentili, Francesco Marzioni +9
The generation of large-amplitude coherent states of a massive mechanical resonator, and their quantum-limited detection represent useful tools for quantum sensing and for testing…
Mechanical characterization of a membrane with an on-chip loss shield in a cryogenic environment
Francesco Marzioni, Riccardo Natali, Michele Bonaldi +9
The quantum transduction of an rf/microwave signal to the optical domain, and vice versa, paves the way for technologies that exploit the advantages of each domain to perform quant…
Full dynamics of two-membrane cavity optomechanics
Wenlin Li, Xingli Li, Yan Li +4
In a two-membrane cavity optomechanical setup, two semi-transparent membranes placed within an optical Fabry-Pérot cavity yield a nontrivial dependence of the frequency of a mode…
Two-membrane etalon
Francesco Marzioni, Riccardo Natali, Nicola Malossi +3
Optomechanics with semi-transparent membrane multi-oscillators in a high-finesse cavity is an established solution for designing the dispersive interaction, and reaching many achie…
