Measuring high field gradients of cobalt nanomagnets in a spin-mechanical setup

Felix Hahne, Teresa Klara Pfau, Liza Žaper +5

Hybrid systems composed of a single nitrogen-vacancy center spin magnetically coupled to a macroscopic mechanical resonator constitute promising platforms for the realization of qu…

Strong coupling and dark modes in the motion of a pair of levitated nanoparticles

Antonio Pontin, Quentin Deplano, Andrea Ranfagni +2

We experimentally investigate a system composed of two levitating nanospheres whose motions are indirectly coupled via coherent scattering in a single optical cavity mode. The nano…

High purity two-dimensional levitated mechanical oscillator

Q. Deplano, A. Pontin, A. Ranfagni +2

In recent years, levitated optomechanics has delivered on the promise of reaching the motional quantum ground state. An important next milestone of the field would be the generatio…

Strong Thermomechanical Noise Squeezing Stabilized by Feedback

Aida Mashaal, Lucio Stefan, Andrea Ranfagni +5

Squeezing the quadrature noise of a harmonic oscillator used as a sensor can enhance its sensitivity in certain measurment schemes. The canonical approach, based on parametric modu…

Transfer of a levitating nanoparticle between optical tweezers

Massimo Calamai, Andrea Ranfagni, Francesco Marin

We demonstrate and characterize the transfer of a levitating silica nanosphere between two optical tweezers, at low pressure. Both optical traps are mounted on the heads of optical…
