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…
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…
Laser cooling of a micromechanical membrane to the quantum backaction limit
R. W. Peterson, T. P. Purdy, N. S. Kampel +4
The radiation pressure of light can act to damp and cool the vibrational motion of a mechanical resonator. In understanding the quantum limits of this cooling, one must consider th…
Optomechanical Raman-Ratio Thermometry
T. P. Purdy, P. -L. Yu, N. S. Kampel +4
The temperature dependence of the asymmetry between Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering can be exploited for self-calibrating, optically-based thermometry. In the context of ca…
Observation of Radiation Pressure Shot Noise on a Macroscopic Object
T. P. Purdy, R. W. Peterson, C. A. Regal
The quantum mechanics of position measurement of a macroscopic object is typically inaccessible because of strong coupling to the environment and classical noise. Here we monitor a…
