Testing the quantum nature of gravity through interferometry

Yubao Liu, Yanbei Chen, Kentaro Somiya +1

We propose a Michelson-type interferometric protocol for testing the quantum nature of gravity through testing the phenomenology of semi-classical gravity theory, which predicts a…

Quantum Back Action Evasion with Reservoir Engineering

Yohei Nishino, James W. Gardner, Yanbei Chen +1

We propose a back-action evading scheme for a free mass that combines reservoir engineering with velocity measurement. The underlying principle follows the double-pass-type speed m…

Teleportation-based Speed Meter for Precision Measurement

Yohei Nishino, James W. Gardner, Yanbei Chen +1

We propose a quantum teleportation-based speed meter for interferometric displacement sensing. Two equivalent implementations are presented: an online approach that uses real-time…

Kerr-Enhanced Optical Spring

Sotatsu Otabe, Wataru Usukura, Kaido Suzuki +4

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the generation of enhanced optical springs using the optical Kerr effect. A nonlinear optical crystal is inserted into a Fabry-Perot cavit…

Photothermal effect in macroscopic optomechanical systems with an intracavity nonlinear optical crystal

Sotatsu Otabe, Kentaro Komori, Ken-ichi Harada +3

Intracavity squeezing is a promising technique that may improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors and cool optomechanical oscillators to the ground state. However, th…

Quantum noise of a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer with translucent mechanical oscillator

Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Daniel Friedrich, Tobias Westphal +5

Quantum fluctuations in the radiation pressure of light can excite stochastic motions of mechanical oscillators thereby realizing a linear quantum opto-mechanical coupling. When pe…

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.…

Reduction and possible elimination of coating thermal noise using a rigidly controlled cavity with a QND technique

Kentaro Somiya

Thermal noise of a mirror is one of the most important issues in high precision measurements such as gravitational-wave detection or cold damping experiments. It has been pointed o…

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…
