Optical self-cooling of a membrane oscillator in a cavity optomechanical experiment at room temperature
P. Vezio, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +5
Thermal noise is a major obstacle to observing quantum behavior in macroscopic systems. To mitigate its effect, quantum optomechanical experiments are typically performed in a cryo…
Spectral Analysis of Quantum Field Fluctuations in a Strongly Coupled Optomechanical System
A. Ranfagni, F. Marino, F. Marin
With a levitodynamics experiment in the strong and coherent quantum optomechanical coupling regime, we demonstrate that the oscillator acts as a broadband quantum spectrum analyzer…
Quantum state purity versus average phonon number for characterization of mechanical oscillators in cavity optomechanics
K. Børkje, F. Marin
Quantum oscillators in Gaussian states are often characterized by average occupation numbers that refer to a basis of eigenstates of the non-interacting oscillator Hamiltonian. We…
Two-dimensional quantum motion of a levitated nanosphere
A. Ranfagni, K. Børkje, F. Marino +1
We report on the two-dimensional (2D) dynamics of a levitated nanoparticle in an optical cavity. The motion of the nanosphere is strongly coupled to the cavity field by coherent sc…
Silicon-nitride nanosensors toward room temperature quantum optomechanics
Enrico Serra, Antonio Borrielli, Francesco Marin +9
Observation of quantum phenomena in cryogenic, optically cooled mechanical resonators has been recently achieved by a few experiments based on cavity optomechanics. A well-establis…
Vectorial polaritons in the quantum motion of a levitated nanosphere
A. Ranfagni, P. Vezio, M. Calamai +3
The strong coupling between elementary excitations of the electromagnetic field (photons) and quantized mechanical vibrations (phonons) produces hybrid quasi-particle states, known…
