Single-Atom Cavity QED and Opto-Micromechanics
M. Wallquist, K. Hammerer, P. Zoller +6
In a recent publication [K. Hammerer et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 063005 (2009)] we have shown the possibility to achieve strong coupling of the quantized motion of a micron-sized…
Micro-mechanical oscillator ground state cooling via intracavity optical atomic excitations
C. Genes, H. Ritsch, D. Vitali
We predict ground state cooling of a micro-mechanical oscillator, i.e. a vibrating end-mirror of an optical cavity, by resonant coupling of mirror vibrations to a narrow internal o…
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…
Phase-noise induced limitations on cooling and coherent evolution in opto-mechanical systems
P. Rabl, C. Genes, K. Hammerer +1
We present a detailed theoretical discussion of the effects of ubiquitous laser noise on cooling and the coherent dynamics in opto-mechanical systems. Phase fluctuations of the dri…
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…
