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…
Stationary entanglement of a levitated oscillator with an optical field
Q. Deplano, A. Pontin, F. Marino +1
Stationary entanglement between the motion of macroscopic objects and light is a long-standing goal of quantum optomechanics, with implications for both fundamental tests of quantu…
Roto-translational optomechanics
M. Rademacher, A. Pontin, J. M. H. Gosling +2
Levitated optomechanics, the interaction between light and small levitated objects, is a new macroscopic quantum system that is being used as a testing ground for fundamental physi…
High purity two-dimensional levitated mechanical oscillator
Q. Deplano, A. Pontin, A. Ranfagni +2
In recent years, levitated optomechanics has delivered on the promise of reaching the motional quantum ground state. An important next milestone of the field would be the generatio…
