Environment-governed dynamics in driven quantum systems

S. Gasparinetti, P. Solinas, S. Pugnetti +2

We show that the dynamics of a driven quantum system weakly coupled to the environment can exhibit two distinct regimes. While the relaxation basis is usually determined by the sys…

Quantum transducer in circuit optomechanics

Nicolas Didier, Stefano Pugnetti, Yaroslav M. Blanter +1

Mechanical resonators are macroscopic quantum objects with great potential. They couple to many different quantum systems such as spins, optical photons, cold atoms, and Bose Einst…

Floquet theory of Cooper pair pumping

Angelo Russomanno, Stefano Pugnetti, Valentina Brosco +1

In this work we derive a general formula for the charge pumped in a superconducting nanocircuit. Our expression generalizes previous results in several ways, it is applicable both…

Detecting phonon blockade with photons

Nicolas Didier, Stefano Pugnetti, Yaroslav M. Blanter +1

Measuring the quantum dynamics of a mechanical system, when few phonons are involved, remains a challenge. We show that a superconducting microwave resonator linearly coupled to th…

SQUID Detection of Quantized Mechanical Motion

Stefano Pugnetti, Yaroslav M. Blanter, Rosario Fazio

We predict that quantized mechanical motion can be detected by embedding a mechanical resonator into a quantum SQUID. If the system is tuned to the regime when a plasma frequency o…

Detection of Tiny Mechanical Motion by Means of the Ratchet Effect

Stefano Pugnetti, Yaroslav M. Blanter, Fabrizio Dolcini +1

We propose a position detection scheme for a nanoelectromechanical resonator based on the ratchet effect. This scheme has an advantage of being a dc measurement. We consider a thre…
