Probing gravitational interaction between milligram optomechanical oscillators operating in the quantum regime
M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli, G. Di Giuseppe +12
We present an ongoing optomechanical experiment aimed at detecting gravitational interaction between milligram-scale oscillators, and exploring its interplay with quantum mechanics…
Large amplitude mechanical coherent states and detection of weak nonlinearities in cavity optomechanics
Wenlin Li, Paolo Piergentili, Francesco Marzioni +9
The generation of large-amplitude coherent states of a massive mechanical resonator, and their quantum-limited detection represent useful tools for quantum sensing and for testing…
Mechanical characterization of a membrane with an on-chip loss shield in a cryogenic environment
Francesco Marzioni, Riccardo Natali, Michele Bonaldi +9
The quantum transduction of an rf/microwave signal to the optical domain, and vice versa, paves the way for technologies that exploit the advantages of each domain to perform quant…
Low Noise Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator for RF-to-Optical Transduction in Quantum Communications
Michele Bonaldi, Antonio Borrielli, Giovanni Di Giuseppe +7
In this work, we present an Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator (OEMM) for RF-to-optical transduction realized via an ultra-coherent nanomembrane resonator capacitively coupled to an…
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…
Active feedback cooling of a SiN membrane resonator by electrostatic actuation
Antonio Borrielli, Michele Bonaldi, Enrico Serra +2
Feedback-based control techniques are useful tools in precision measurements as they allow to actively shape the mechanical response of high quality factor oscillators used in forc…
