Cavity-assisted squeezing of a mechanical oscillator
K. Jaehne, C. Genes, K. Hammerer +3
We investigate the creation of squeezed states of a vibrating membrane or a movable mirror in an opto-mechanical system. An optical cavity is driven by squeezed light and couples v…
Sub-Planck scale structures in a vibrating molecule in the presence of decoherence
Suranjana Ghosh, Utpal Roy, Claudiu Genes +1
We study the effect of decoherence on the sub-Planck scale structures of the vibrational wave packet of a molecule. The time evolution of these wave packets is investigated under t…
Quantum effects in optomechanical systems
C. Genes, A. Mari, D. Vitali +1
The search for experimental demonstrations of the quantum behavior of macroscopic mechanical resonators is a fastly growing field of investigation and recent results suggest that t…
Ground-state cooling of a micromechanical oscillator: generalized framework for cold damping and cavity-assisted cooling schemes
Claudiu Genes, David Vitali, Paolo Tombesi +2
We provide a general framework to describe cooling of a micromechanical oscillator to its quantum ground state by means of radiation-pressure coupling with a driven optical cavity.…
