Dissipative synthesis of mechanical Fock-like states
Matteo Brunelli, Oussama Houhou
The observation of genuine quantum features of nano-mechanical motion is a key goal for both fundamental and applied quantum science. To this end, a promising approach is the stabi…
Quantum simulation of multiphoton and nonlinear dissipative spin-boson models
Ricardo Puebla, Jorge Casanova, Oussama Houhou +2
We present a framework for the realization of dissipative evolutions of spin-boson models, including multiphoton exchange dynamics, as well as nonlinear transition rates. Our appro…
Linear-and-quadratic reservoir engineering of non-Gaussian states
Matteo Brunelli, Oussama Houhou
We study the dissipative preparation of pure non-Gaussian states of a target mode which is coupled both linearly and quadratically to an auxiliary damped mode. We show that any pur…
Unconditional preparation of nonclassical states via linear-and-quadratic optomechanics
Matteo Brunelli, Oussama Houhou, Darren W. Moore +3
Reservoir engineering enables the robust preparation of pure quantum states in noisy environments. We show how a new family of quantum states of a mechanical oscillator can be stab…
