Laser cooling of a Planck mass object close to the quantum ground state
Leonhard Neuhaus, Remi Metzdorff, Salim Zerkani +13
Quantum mechanics has so far not been tested for mechanical objects at the scale of the Planck mass . We present an experiment where a 1 m…
Edge mode engineering for optimal ultracoherent silicon nitride membranes
E. Ivanov, T. Capelle, M. Rosticher +6
Due to their high force sensitivity, mechanical resonators combining low mechanical dissipation with a small motional mass are highly demanded in fields as diverse as resonant forc…
A new method of probing mechanical losses of coatings at cryogenic temperatures
Serge Galliou, Samuel Deléglise, Maxim Goryachev +14
A new method of probing mechanical losses and comparing the corresponding deposition processes of metallic and dielectric coatings in 1-100 MHz frequency range and cryogenic temper…
High-finesse Fabry-Perot cavities with bidimensional SiN photonic-crystal slabs
Xu Chen, Clément Chardin, Kevin Makles +9
Light scattering by a two-dimensional photonic crystal slab (PCS) can result in dramatic interference effects associated with Fano resonances. Such devices offer appealing alternat…
Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update
Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49
Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
2D photonic-crystal optomechanical nanoresonator
K. Makles, T. Antoni, A. G. Kuhn +12
We present the optical optimization of an optomechanical device based on a suspended InP membrane patterned with a 2D near-wavelength grating (NWG) based on a 2D photonic-crystal g…
