Probing gravitational interaction between milligram optomechanical oscillators operating in the quantum regime
M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli, G. Di Giuseppe +12
We present an ongoing optomechanical experiment aimed at detecting gravitational interaction between milligram-scale oscillators, and exploring its interplay with quantum mechanics…
Large amplitude mechanical coherent states and detection of weak nonlinearities in cavity optomechanics
Wenlin Li, Paolo Piergentili, Francesco Marzioni +9
The generation of large-amplitude coherent states of a massive mechanical resonator, and their quantum-limited detection represent useful tools for quantum sensing and for testing…
Mechanical characterization of a membrane with an on-chip loss shield in a cryogenic environment
Francesco Marzioni, Riccardo Natali, Michele Bonaldi +9
The quantum transduction of an rf/microwave signal to the optical domain, and vice versa, paves the way for technologies that exploit the advantages of each domain to perform quant…
Low Noise Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator for RF-to-Optical Transduction in Quantum Communications
Michele Bonaldi, Antonio Borrielli, Giovanni Di Giuseppe +7
In this work, we present an Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator (OEMM) for RF-to-optical transduction realized via an ultra-coherent nanomembrane resonator capacitively coupled to an…
Two-membrane cavity optomechanics: non-linear dynamics
Paolo Piergentili, Wenlin Li, Riccardo Natali +3
We study the non-linear dynamics of a multimode optomechanical system constituted of a driven high-finesse Fabry-Pérot cavity containing two vibrating dielectric membranes. The ana…
Sympathetic cooling of a radio-frequency LC circuit to its ground state in an optoelectromechanical system
Nicola Malossi, Paolo Piergentili, Jie Li +4
We present a complete theory for laser cooling of a macroscopic radio-frequency LC electrical circuit by means of an optoelectromechanical system, consisting of an optical cavity d…
