Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator

Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203

Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…

A Quantum-Enhanced Feedback Oscillator

Hudson A. Loughlin, Daniel M. DeSantis, Nergis Mavalvala +1

Feedback oscillators, such as lasers and masers, serve as time references in modern computing, communication, and measurement. Quantum fluctuations ultimately limit their phase sta…

Continuum-field quantum optics of frequency comb metrology

Dong-Chel Shin, Edwin Ng, Myoung-Gyun Suh +1

Frequency combs enable precision measurements across timekeeping, spectroscopy, ranging and astronomy, and are now extending to integrated and field-deployable platforms. Realizing…

Completely-positive non-signalling non-Markovian dynamics

Serhii Kryhin, Vivishek Sudhir

We define non-Markovian quantum dynamics as evolution in which the current state depends on all past states, and completely characterize its structure under the assumptions of comp…

Forecasting in the presence of scale-free noise

Serhii Kryhin, Tatiana Mouzykantskii, Vivishek Sudhir

The extraction of signals from noise is a common problem in all areas of science and engineering. A particularly useful version is that of forecasting: determining a causal filter…

Thermality and athermality in the Unruh effect

D. Jaffino Stargen, Vivishek Sudhir

In idealized treatments of the Unruh effect, a two-level atom is accelerated in a prescribed classical trajectory through the vacuum of a quantum field -- the Unruh bath -- which c…

Noise-Resilient Quantum Metrology

Hudson A. Loughlin, Melissa A. Guidry, Jacques Ding +7

Quantum metrology seeks to leverage the richness of quantum systems for making better measurements than are possible using only classical resources in order to gain a ``quantum adv…

Wave-particle duality in the measurement of gravitational radiation

Hudson A. Loughlin, Germain Tobar, Evan D. Hall +1

In a consistent description of the quantum measurement process, whether the wave or particle-like aspect of a system is revealed depends on the details of the measurement chain, an…

A Generalized Schawlow-Townes Limit

Hudson A. Loughlin, Vivishek Sudhir

We study a class of a feedback oscillators realized by a phase-insensitive amplifier in positive feedback, where either the amplifier or the feedback element may determine the osci…

Quantum Linear Time-Translation-Invariant Systems: Conjugate Symplectic Structure, Uncertainty Bounds, and Tomography

Jacques Ding, Hudson A. Loughlin, Vivishek Sudhir

Linear time-translation-invariant (LTI) models offer simple, yet powerful, abstractions of complex classical dynamical systems. Quantum versions of such models have so far relied o…

Active laser cooling of a centimeter-scale torsional oscillator

Dong-Chel Shin, Tina M. Hayward, Dylan Fife +2

Experimental tests of gravity's fundamental nature call for mechanical systems in the quantum regime while being sensitive to gravity. Torsion pendula, historically vital in studie…

Exceptional-point Sensors Offer No Fundamental Signal-to-Noise Ratio Enhancement

Hudson A. Loughlin, Vivishek Sudhir

Exceptional-point (EP) sensors are characterized by a square-root resonant frequency bifurcation in response to an external perturbation. This has lead numerous suggestions for usi…

Distinguishable consequence of classical gravity on quantum matter

Serhii Kryhin, Vivishek Sudhir

What if gravity is classical? If true, a consistent co-existence of classical gravity and quantum matter requires that gravity exhibit irreducible fluctuations. These fluctuations…

Relativistic coupling of phase and amplitude noise in optical interferometry

Vivishek Sudhir, Peter Fritschel, Nergis Mavalvala

Extraneous motion of optical elements in an interferometer lead to excess noise. Typically, fluctuations in the effective path length lead to phase noise, while beam-pointing leads…

Near-field integration of a SiN nanobeam and a SiO microcavity for Heisenberg-limited displacement sensing

Ryan Schilling, Hendrik Schütz, Amir Ghadimi +3

Placing a nanomechanical object in the evanescent near-field of a high- optical microcavity gives access to strong gradient forces and quantum-noise-limited displacement readout…
