Quantum-Dense Metrology

Sebastian Steinlechner, Jöran Bauchrowitz, Melanie Meinders +3

Quantum metrology utilizes entanglement for improving the sensitivity of measurements. Up to now the focus has been on the measurement of just one out of two non-commuting observab…

Interferometer readout-noise below the Standard Quantum Limit of a membrane

Tobias Westphal, Daniel Friedrich, Henning Kaufer +7

Here we report on the realization of a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer whose purpose is the precise characterization of the motion of membranes showing significant light transmissi…

Quantum Enhancement of the Zero-Area Sagnac Interferometer Topology for Gravitational Wave Detection

Tobias Eberle, Sebastian Steinlechner, Jöran Bauchrowitz +5

Only a few years ago, it was realized that the zero-area Sagnac interferometer topology is able to perform quantum nondemolition measurements of position changes of a mechanical os…

Preparing a mechanical oscillator in non-Gaussian quantum states

Farid Khalili, Stefan Danilishin, Haixing Miao +3

We propose a protocol for coherently transferring non-Gaussian quantum states from optical field to a mechanical oscillator. The open quantum dynamics and continuous-measurement pr…
