Probing macroscopic quantum states with a sub-Heisenberg accuracy

Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Helge Muller-Ebhardt +3

Significant achievements in the reduction of classical-noise floor will allow macroscopic systems to prepare nearly Heisenberg-Limited quantum states through a continuous measureme…

Quantum state preparation and macroscopic entanglement in gravitational-wave detectors

Helge Mueller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein, Chao Li +5

Long-baseline laser-interferometer gravitational-wave detectors are operating at a factor of 10 (in amplitude) above the standard quantum limit (SQL) within a broad frequency band.…

Creation of a quantum oscillator by classical control

Stefan Danilishin, Helge Müller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein +7

As a pure quantum state is being approached via linear feedback, and the occupation number approaches and eventually goes below unity, optimal control becomes crucial. We obtain th…

Entanglement of macroscopic test masses and the Standard Quantum Limit in laser interferometry

Helge Mueller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein, Roman Schnabel +2

We show that the generation of entanglement of two heavily macroscopic mirrors with masses of up to several kilograms are feasible with state of the art techniques of high-precisio…

An all-optical trap for a gram-scale mirror

T. Corbitt, Y. Chen, H. Mueller-Ebhardt +7

We report on a stable optical trap suitable for a macroscopic mirror, wherein the dynamics of the mirror are fully dominated by radiation pressure. The technique employs two freque…
