Room-temperature Mechanical Resonator with a Single Added or Subtracted Phonon

Rishi N. Patel, Timothy P. McKenna, Zhaoyou Wang +5

A room-temperature mechanical oscillator undergoes thermal Brownian motion with an amplitude much larger than the amplitude associated with a single phonon of excitation. This moti…

Resolving the energy levels of a nanomechanical oscillator

Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Zhaoyou Wang +5

The coherent states that describe the classical motion of a mechanical oscillator do not have well-defined energy, but are rather quantum superpositions of equally-spaced energy ei…

Quantum dynamics of a few-photon parametric oscillator

Zhaoyou Wang, Marek Pechal, E. Alex Wollack +4

Modulating the frequency of a harmonic oscillator at nearly twice its natural frequency leads to amplification and self-oscillation. Above the oscillation threshold, the field sett…

A single-mode phononic wire

Rishi N. Patel, Zhaoyou Wang, Wentao Jiang +3

Photons and electrons transmit information to form complex systems and networks. Phonons on the other hand, the quanta of mechanical motion, are often considered only as carriers o…
