Role of inertia on the performance of Brownian gyrators

Thalyta T. Martins, Ines Ben-Yedder, Alex Fontana +1

Understanding the role of inertia in nanoscale heat transport is fundamental to the design of efficient nano-thermodynamics systems. In this work, we experimentally address the non…

Wavefront shaping enhanced nano-optomechanics down to the quantum precision limit

Alexandros G. Tavernarakis, Rodrigo Gutiérrez-Cuevas, Loïc Rondin +3

We introduce wavefront shaping as a tool for optimizing the sensitivity in nano-optomechanical measurement schemes. We perform multimode output analysis of an optomechanical system…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
