Optical probing of mechanical loss of a Si_{3}N_{4} membrane below 100 mK
R. Fischer, N. S. Kampel, G. G. T. Assumpção +5
We report on low mechanical loss in a high-stress silicon nitride (Si_{3}N_{4}) membrane at temperatures below 100 mK. We isolate a membrane via a phononic shield formed within a s…
Hybrid quantum systems with trapped charged particles
Shlomi Kotler, Raymond W. Simmonds, Dietrich Leibfried +1
We study theoretically the possibilities of coupling the quantum mechanical motion of a trapped charged particle (e.g. ion or electron) to quantum degrees of freedom of superconduc…
Sideband Cooling Beyond the Quantum Limit with Squeezed Light
Jeremy B. Clark, Florent Lecocq, Raymond W. Simmonds +2
Quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum impose an observable quantum limit to the lowest temperatures that can be reached with conventional laser cooling techniques. As…
