Laser cooling of a Planck mass object close to the quantum ground state
Leonhard Neuhaus, Remi Metzdorff, Salim Zerkani +13
Quantum mechanics has so far not been tested for mechanical objects at the scale of the Planck mass . We present an experiment where a 1 m…
Probing a two-level system bath via the frequency shift of an off-resonantly-driven cavity
Thibault Capelle, Emmanuel Flurin, Edouard Ivanov +8
Although the main loss channel of planar microwave superconducting resonators has been identified to be related to an external coupling to a two-level system (TLS) bath, the behavi…
Adiabatic elimination for multi-partite open quantum systems with non-trivial zero-order dynamics
Paolo Forni, Alain Sarlette, Thibault Capelle +3
We provide model reduction formulas for open quantum systems consisting of a target component which weakly interacts with a strongly dissipative environment. The time-scale separat…
Acoustic confinement in superlattice cavities
Daniel Garcia-Sanchez, Samuel Déleglise, Jean-Louis Thomas +3
The large coupling rate between the acoustic and optical fields confined in GaAs/AlAs superlattice cavities makes them appealing systems for cavity optomechanics. We have developed…
High-finesse Fabry-Perot cavities with bidimensional SiN photonic-crystal slabs
Xu Chen, Clément Chardin, Kevin Makles +9
Light scattering by a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab (PCS) can result in dramatic interference effects associated with Fano resonances. Such devices offer appealing alternat…
A micropillar for cavity optomechanics
A. G. Kuhn, M. Bahriz, O. Ducloux +8
We present a new micromechanical resonator designed for cavity optomechanics. We have used a micropillar geometry to obtain a high-frequency mechanical resonance with a low effecti…
