Thermal Noise Measurement Below the Standard Quantum Limit
Ronald Pagano, Scott Aronson, Torrey Cullen +2
We present a method characterizing thermal noise in an optical cavity independent from quantum noise despite the thermal noise falling below the quantum noise limit. Using this met…
Conditional Motional Squeezing of an Optomechanical Oscillator Approaching the Quantum Regime
Benjamin B. Lane, Junxin Chen, Ronald E. Pagano +5
Squeezed mechanical states are a highly coveted resource for quantum-enhanced sensing and serve as a compelling platform for probing the interplay between gravity and quantum mecha…
Optical Spring Tracking for Enhancing Quantum-Limited Interferometers
Scott Aronson, Ronald Pagano, Torrey Cullen +2
Modern interferometers such as LIGO have achieved sensitivities limited by quantum noise, comprised of radiation pressure and shot noise. To mitigate this noise, a static system is…
Optomechanical entanglement at room temperature: a simulation study with realistic conditions
Kahlil Y. Dixon, Lior Cohen, Narayan Bhusal +3
Quantum entanglement is the key to many applications like quantum key distribution, quantum teleportation, and quantum sensing. However, reliably generating quantum entanglement in…
Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO
Haocun Yu, L. McCuller, M. Tse +196
Measurement of minuscule forces and displacements with ever greater precision encounters a limit imposed by a pillar of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. A l…
Design of Microresonators to Minimize Thermal Noise Below the Standard Quantum Limit
Safura Sharifi, Yaser Banadaki, Torrey Cullen +3
We present a design for a new microresonator whose geometry is optimized to maximize sub-Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) performance. The new design is predicted to have thermal noise…
