Large Quantum Superpositions and Interference of Massive Nanometer-Sized Objects
O. Romero-Isart, A. C. Pflanzer, F. Blaser +4
We propose a method to prepare and verify spatial quantum superpositions of a nanometer-sized object separated by distances of the order of its size. This method provides unprecede…

Self-cooling of a micro-mirror by radiation pressure
S. Gigan, H. R. Boehm, M. Paternostro +7
We demonstrate passive feedback cooling of a mechanical resonator based on radiation pressure forces and assisted by photothermal forces in a high-finesse optical cavity. The reson…

A high-reflectivity high-Q micromechanical Bragg-mirror
H. R. Boehm, S. Gigan, G. Langer +6
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a micromechanical oscillator consisting only of a free-standing dielectric Bragg mirror with high optical reflectivity and high…
