Work measurement in an optomechanical quantum heat engine
Ying Dong, Keye Zhang, Francesco Bariani +1
We analyze theoretically the measurement of the mean output work and its fluctuations in a recently proposed optomechanical quantum heat engine [K. Zhang {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. Le…
Proposal for an Optomechanical Microwave Sensor at the Subphoton Level
Keye Zhang, Francesco Bariani, Ying Dong +2
Because of their low energy content, microwave signals at the single-photon level are extremely challenging to measure. Guided by recent progress in single-photon optomechanics and…
Theory of an optomechanical quantum heat engine
Keye Zhang, Francesco Bariani, Pierre Meystre
Coherent interconversion between optical and mechanical excitations in an optomechanical cavity can be used to engineer a quantum heat engine. This heat engine is based on an Otto…
Quantum Optomechanical Heat Engine
Keye Zhang, Francesco Bariani, Pierre Meystre
We investigate theoretically a quantum optomechanical realization of a heat engine. In a generic optomechanical arrangement the optomechanical coupling between the cavity field and…
Single-atom quantum control of macroscopic mechanical oscillators
F. Bariani, J. Otterbach, Huatang Tan +1
We investigate a hybrid electro-mechanical system consisting of a pair of charged macroscopic mechanical oscillators coupled to a small ensemble of Rydberg atoms. The resonant dipo…
Deterministic macroscopic quantum superpositions of motion via quadratic optomechanical coupling
Huatang Tan, F. Bariani, Gaoxiang Li +1
We propose a scheme to prepare macroscopic quantum superpositions of motion in optomachanical nano- or micromechanical oscillators quadratically coupled to an intracavity field. Th…
