Cavity-mediated long-range interactions in levitated optomechanics
Jayadev Vijayan, Johannes Piotrowski, Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero +3
The ability to engineer cavity-mediated interactions has emerged as a powerful tool for the generation of non-local correlations and the investigation of non-equilibrium phenomena…
Simultaneous ground-state cooling of two mechanical modes of a levitated nanoparticle
Johannes Piotrowski, Dominik Windey, Jayadev Vijayan +7
The quantum ground state of a massive mechanical system is a steppingstone for investigating macroscopic quantum states and building high fidelity sensors. With the recent achievem…
Optomechanical sideband asymmetry explained by stochastic electrodynamics
Lukas Novotny, Martin Frimmer, Andrei Militaru +3
Within the framework of stochastic electrodynamics we derive the noise spectrum of a laser beam reflected from a suspended mirror. The electromagnetic field follows Maxwell's equat…
Suppressing Recoil Heating in Levitated Optomechanics using Squeezed Light
C. Gonzalez-Ballestero, J. A. Zielińska, M. Rossi +5
We theoretically show that laser recoil heating in free-space levitated optomechanics can be arbitrarily suppressed by shining squeezed light onto an optically trapped nanoparticle…
Ponderomotive squeezing of light by a levitated nanoparticle in free space
Andrei Militaru, Massimiliano Rossi, Felix Tebbenjohanns +3
A mechanically compliant element can be set into motion by the interaction with light. In turn, this light-driven motion can give rise to ponderomotive correlations in the electrom…
Quantum control of a nanoparticle optically levitated in cryogenic free space
Felix Tebbenjohanns, M. Luisa Mattana, Massimiliano Rossi +2
Tests of quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale require extreme control over mechanical motion and its decoherence. Quantum control of mechanical motion has been achieved by engi…
Resolved Sideband Cooling of a Levitated Nanoparticle in the Presence of Laser Phase Noise
Nadine Meyer, Andres de los Rios Sommer, Pau Mestres +4
We investigate the influence of laser phase noise heating on resolved sideband cooling in the context of cooling the center-of-mass motion of a levitated nanoparticle in a high-fin…
Theory for Cavity Cooling of Levitated Nanoparticles via Coherent Scattering: Master Equation Approach
C. Gonzalez-Ballestero, P. Maurer, D. Windey +3
We develop a theory for cavity cooling of the center-of-mass motion of a levitated nanoparticle through coherent scattering into an optical cavity. We analytically determine the fu…
Cavity-Based 3D Cooling of a Levitated Nanoparticle via Coherent Scattering
Dominik Windey, Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero, Patrick Maurer +3
We experimentally realize cavity cooling of all three translational degrees of motion of a levitated nanoparticle in vacuum. The particle is trapped by a cavity-independent optical…
Cooling mechanical oscillators by coherent control
Martin Frimmer, Jan Gieseler, Lukas Novotny
In optomechanics, electromagnetic fields are harnessed to control a single mode of a mechanically compliant system, while other mechanical degrees of freedom remain unaffected due…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
Stokes--anti-Stokes Correlations in Raman Scattering from Diamond Membranes
Mark Kasperczyk, Ado Jorio, Elke Neu +2
We investigate the arrival statistics of Stokes (S) and anti-Stokes (aS) Raman photons generated in diamond membranes. Strong quantum correlations between the S and aS signals are…
The Classical Bloch Equations
Martin Frimmer, Lukas Novotny
Coherent control of a quantum mechanical two-level system is at the heart of magnetic resonance imaging, quantum information processing, and quantum optics. Among the most prominen…
Nanoscale fluorescence lifetime imaging with a single diamond NV center
Ryan Beams, Dallas Smith, Timothy W. Johnson +3
Solid-state quantum emitters, such as artificially engineered quantum dots or naturally occurring defects in solids, are being investigated for applications ranging from quantum in…
