Waveguides in a quantum perspective
Eddy Collin, Alexandre Delattre
Solid state quantum devices, operated at dilution cryostat temperatures, are relying on microwave signals to both drive and read-out their quantum states. These signals are transmi…
Thermalization of neighboring nanomechanical resonators below 1 mK
Amir Youssefi, Mahdi Chegnizadeh, Francis Bettsworth +4
The position noise spectra of six drums on a single chip were measured on a single cooldown below 1.3 kelvin. Cryostat temperatures as low as 0.7 mK were achieved. The temperature…
Canonical Quantization of Cylindrical Waveguides: A Gauge-Based Approach
Alexandre Delattre, Eddy Collin
We present a canonical quantization of electromagnetic modes in cylindrical waveguides, extending a gauge-based formalism previously developed for Cartesian geometries [1]. By intr…
Quantitative calibration of a TWPA applied to an optomechanical platform
Alexandre Delattre, Ilya Golokolenov, Richard Pedurand +11
In the last decade, the microwave quantum electronics toolbox has been enriched with quantum-limited detection devices such as Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs). The ext…
On the nature of light
Eddy Collin
Electromagnetism is at the heart of the Standard Model, but despite all the successes of modern theory, our basic description of light traveling in free space remains unsatisfactor…
