Quantum theory of feedback cooling of an anelastic macro-mechanical oscillator
Kentaro Komori, Dominika Ďurovčíková, Vivishek Sudhir
Conventional techniques for laser cooling, by coherent scattering off of internal states or through an optical cavity mode, have so far proved inefficient on mechanical oscillators…
Thermorefringent noise in crystalline optical materials
Serhii Kryhin, Evan D. Hall, Vivishek Sudhir
Any material in thermal equilibrium exhibits fundamental thermodynamic fluctuations of its mechanical and optical properties. Such thermodynamic fluctuations of length, elastic con…
Acceleration-induced effects in stimulated light-matter interactions
Barbara Šoda, Vivishek Sudhir, Achim Kempf
The interaction between light and an atom proceeds via three paradigmatic mechanisms: spontaneous emission, stimulated emission, and absorption. All three are resonant processes in…
A Novel Modulation Scheme for Homodyne Detection Control
Danial Shadmany, Benjamin Lane, Vivishek Sudhir +1
Controlling the quadrature measured by a homodyne detector is a universal task in continuous-variable quantum optics. However, deriving an error signal that is linear across theent…
Unruh Effect of Detectors with Quantized Center-of-Mass
Vivishek Sudhir, Nadine Stritzelberger, Achim Kempf
The Unruh effect is the prediction that particle detectors accelerated through the vacuum get excited by the apparent presence of radiation quanta -- a fundamental quantum phenomen…
Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
