Spin-momentum locking of polariton edge states in honeycomb lattices
Andrea Herrero Otermin, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Dheerendra Singh +10
Transverse-electric/Transverse-magnetic splitting in dielectric-mirror microcavities introduces an effective spin-orbit coupling for photons. While the bulk states remain linearly…
Shot-to-shot noise cancellation for parametric oscillators
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
Powerful approaches to squeeze the motional state of a harmonic oscillator rely on the stepwise modulation of its resonance frequency. Such protocols can be limited by forces that…
Nanomechanical sensor resolving impulsive forces below its zero-point fluctuations
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
The sensitivity of a mechanical transducer is ultimately limited by its inherent quantum fluctuations. Here, we use an optically levitated nanoparticle to measure impulsive forces…
Trap-to-trap free falls with an optically levitated nanoparticle
M. Luisa Mattana, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi +4
We perform free-fall experiments with a charge-neutral, optically levitated nanoparticle. This is achieved using an optical tweezer that can be rapidly toggled on and off and verti…
Motional entanglement of remote optically levitated nanoparticles
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi, Martin Frimmer +4
We show how to entangle the motion of optically levitated nanoparticles in distant optical tweezers. The scheme consists in coupling the inelastically scattered light of each parti…
Quantum Delocalization of a Levitated Nanoparticle
Massimiliano Rossi, Andrei Militaru, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
Every massive particle behaves like a wave, according to quantum physics. Yet, this characteristic wave nature has only been observed in double-slit experiments with microscopic sy…
Enhanced Cavity Optomechanics with Quantum-well Exciton Polaritons
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Zakari Denis, Romain De Oliveira +4
Semiconductor microresonators embedding quantum wells can host tightly confined and mutually interacting excitonic, optical and mechanical modes at once. We theoretically investiga…
Chiral emission induced by optical Zeeman effect in polariton micropillars
B. Real, N. Carlon Zambon, P. St-Jean +7
The low sensitivity of photons to external magnetic fields is one of the major challenges for the engineering of photonic lattices with broken time-reversal symmetry. Here we show…
Few-photon all-optical phase rotation in a quantum-well micropillar cavity
Tintu Kuriakose, Paul M. Walker, Toby Dowling +13
Photonic platforms are an excellent setting for quantum technologies because weak photon-environment coupling ensures long coherence times. The second key ingredient for quantum ph…
Parametric instability in coupled nonlinear microcavities
N. Carlon Zambon, S. R. K. Rodriguez, A. Lemaitre +7
We report the observation of a parametric instability in the out-of-equilibrium steady state of two coupled Kerr microresonators coherently driven by a laser. Using a resonant exci…
Orbital angular momentum bistability in a microlaser
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Philippe St-Jean, Aristide Lemaître +6
Light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) is an unbounded degree of freedom emerging in helical beams that appears very advantageous technologically. Using a chiral microlaser, i.e. a…
Non-reciprocity and zero reflection in nonlinear cavities with tailored loss
S. R. K. Rodriguez, V. Goblot, N. Carlon Zambon +2
We demonstrate how to tailor the losses of nonlinear cavities in order to suppress their reflection and enhance their non-reciprocal transmission. We derive analytical expressions…
Optically controlling the emission chirality of microlasers
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Philippe St-Jean, Marijana Milićević +10
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) carried by helical light beams is an unbounded degree of freedom of photons that offers a promising playground in modern photonics. So far, integrate…
Probing a dissipative phase transition via dynamical optical hysteresis
S. R. K. Rodriguez, W. Casteels, F. Storme +8
We experimentally explore the dynamic optical hysteresis of a semiconductor microcavity as a function of the sweep time. The hysteresis area exhibits a double power law decay due t…
