Measuring the knot of non-Hermitian degeneracies and non-commuting braids

Yogesh S. S. Patil, Judith Höller, Parker A. Henry +6

Any system of coupled oscillators may be characterized by its spectrum of resonance frequencies (or eigenfrequencies), which can be tuned by varying the system's parameters. The re…

Nonclassical photon statistics in two-tone continuously driven optomechanics

K. Borkje, F. Massel, J. G. E. Harris

In cavity optomechanics, single photon detection of Raman scattered photons can be a useful tool for observing nonclassical features of both radiation and motion. While this tool h…

Phase slip statistics of a single isolated flux-biased superconducting ring

I. Petkovic, A. Lollo, J. G. E. Harris

We describe measurements of the thermally-activated transitions between fluxoid states of a single isolated superconducting ring. We compare these measurements with theoretical pre…

Topological dynamics in an optomechanical system with highly non-degenerate modes

H. Xu, D. Mason, Luyao Jiang +1

Non-Hermitian systems exhibit phenomena that are qualitatively different from those of Hermitian systems and have been exploited to achieve a number of ends, including the generati…

Photothermal optomechanics in superfluid helium coupled to a fiber-based cavity

A. D. Kashkanova, A. B. Shkarin, C. D. Brown +7

Presented in this paper are measurements of an optomechanical device in which various acoustic modes of a sample of superfluid helium couple to a fiber-based optical cavity. In con…

High quality mechanical and optical properties of commercial silicon nitride membranes

B. M. Zwickl, W. E. Shanks, A. M. Jayich +4

We have measured the optical and mechanical loss of commercial silicon nitride membranes. We find that 50 nm-thick, 1 mm^2 membranes have mechanical Q > 10^6 at 293 K, and Q > 10^7…
