Single-atom detection with a quantum-controlled mechanical oscillator
Maxime Perdriat, Maciej Dziewiecki, Josef-Anton Agner +4
Using supersonic expansion, we create a time-gated, directional beam of Xe atoms with a narrow momentum distribution and detect their collisions with a levitated nanosphere cooled…
Shot-to-shot noise cancellation for parametric oscillators
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
Powerful approaches to squeeze the motional state of a harmonic oscillator rely on the stepwise modulation of its resonance frequency. Such protocols can be limited by forces that…
Nanomechanical sensor resolving impulsive forces below its zero-point fluctuations
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
The sensitivity of a mechanical transducer is ultimately limited by its inherent quantum fluctuations. Here, we use an optically levitated nanoparticle to measure impulsive forces…
Trap-to-trap free falls with an optically levitated nanoparticle
M. Luisa Mattana, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi +4
We perform free-fall experiments with a charge-neutral, optically levitated nanoparticle. This is achieved using an optical tweezer that can be rapidly toggled on and off and verti…
Motional entanglement of remote optically levitated nanoparticles
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi, Martin Frimmer +4
We show how to entangle the motion of optically levitated nanoparticles in distant optical tweezers. The scheme consists in coupling the inelastically scattered light of each parti…
Quantum Delocalization of a Levitated Nanoparticle
Massimiliano Rossi, Andrei Militaru, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
Every massive particle behaves like a wave, according to quantum physics. Yet, this characteristic wave nature has only been observed in double-slit experiments with microscopic sy…
State Expansion of a Levitated Nanoparticle in a Dark Harmonic Potential
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
Levitated nanoparticles in vacuum are prime candidates for generating macroscopic quantum superposition states of massive objects. Most protocols for preparing these states necessi…
Hybrid Paul-optical trap with large optical access for levitated optomechanics
Eric Bonvin, Louisiane Devaud, Massimiliano Rossi +7
We present a hybrid trapping platform that allows us to levitate a charged nanoparticle in high vacuum using either optical fields, radio-frequency fields, or a combination thereof…
