Quantum motion of a squeezed mechanical oscillator attained via a optomechanical experiment
P. Vezio, A. Chowdhury, M. Bonaldi +7
We experimentally investigate a mechanical squeezed state realized in a parametrically-modulated membrane resonator embedded in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that a quantum cha…
Probing quantum gravity effects with quantum mechanical oscillators
M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli, A. Chowdhury +13
Phenomenological models aiming to join gravity and quantum mechanics often predict effects that are potentially measurable in refined low-energy experiments. For instance, modified…
Quantum signature of a squeezed mechanical oscillator
A. Chowdhury, P. Vezio, M. Bonaldi +7
Some predictions of quantum mechanics are in contrast with the macroscopic realm of everyday experience, in particular those originated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, enc…
Calibrated quantum thermometry in cavity optomechanics
A Chowdhury, P Vezio, M Bonaldi +9
Cavity optomechanics has achieved the major breakthrough of the preparation and observation of macroscopic mechanical oscillators in peculiarly quantum states. The development of r…
Quantum nondemolition measurement of optical field fluctuations by optomechanical interaction
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +7
According to quantum mechanics, if we keep observing a continuous variable we generally disturb its evolution. For a class of observables, however, it is possible to implement a so…
Microfabrication of large area high-stress silicon nitride membranes for optomechanical devices
E. Serra, M. Bawaj, A. Borrielli +16
In view of the integration of membrane resonators with more complex MEMS structures, we developed a general fabrication procedure for circular shape SiN membranes using Deep Re…
