Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in optomechanics
Vitaly Fedoseev, Fernando Luna, Ian Hedgepeth +2
Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) describes adiabatic population transfer between two states coherently coupled via a mediating state that remains unoccupied. This render…
Optimal Optomechanical Coupling Strength in Multi-Membrane Systems
David C. Newsom, Fernando Luna, Vitaly Fedoseev +2
We calculate the optomechanical coupling strength for a multi-membrane in a cavity system. The optimal configuration for an array of membranes placed near the center of a cavit…
Strong Thermo-mechanical Squeezing in a far detuned Membrane-in-the-middle System
Sameer Sonar, Vitaly Fedoseev, Matthew Weaver +5
We demonstrate 8.5 dB thermal squeezing of a membrane oscillator using the dynamical backaction effect and electrostatic feedback in an optomechanical membrane-in-the-middle setup.…
Phonon Interferometry for Measuring Quantum Decoherence
Matthew J. Weaver, David Newsom, Fernando Luna +2
Experimental observation of the decoherence of macroscopic objects is of fundamental importance to the study of quantum collapse models and the quantum to classical transition. Opt…
