Beyond Spontaneous Emission: Giant Atom Bounded in Continuum
Shangjie Guo, Yidan Wang, Thomas Purdy +1
The quantum coupling of individual superconducting qubits to microwave photons leads to remarkable experimental opportunities. Here we consider the phononic case where the qubit is…
Detecting Acoustic Blackbody Radiation with an Optomechanical Antenna
Robinjeet Singh, Thomas P. Purdy
Nanomechanical systems are generally embedded in a macroscopic environment where the sources of thermal noise are difficult to pinpoint. We engineer a silicon nitride membrane opto…
Quantum-based vacuum metrology at NIST
Julia Scherschligt, James A. Fedchak, Zeeshan Ahmed +10
The measurement science in realizing and disseminating the unit for pressure in the International System of Units (SI), the pascal (Pa), has been the subject of much interest at th…
Towards Replacing Resistance Thermometry with Photonic Thermometry
Nikolai Klimov, Thomas Purdy, Zeeshan Ahmed
Resistance thermometry provides a time-tested method for taking temperature measurements that has been painstakingly developed over the last century. However, fundamental limits to…
Cooling a harmonic oscillator by optomechanical modification of its bath
Xunnong Xu, Thomas Purdy, Jacob M. Taylor
Optomechanical systems show tremendous promise for high sensitivity sensing of forces and modification of mechanical properties via light. For example, similar to neutral atoms and…
Observation of Optomechanical Quantum Correlations at Room Temperature
T. P. Purdy, K. E. Grutter, K. Srinivasan +1
By shining laser light through a nanomechanical beam, we measure the beam's thermally driven vibrations and perturb its motion with optical forces at a level dictated by the Heisen…
