Coherent control of a nanomechanical two-level system
Thomas Faust, Johannes Rieger, Maximilian J. Seitner +2
The Bloch sphere is a generic picture describing a coupled two-level system and the coherent dynamics of its superposition states under control of electromagnetic fields. It is com…
Cavity-enhanced optical detection of carbon nanotube Brownian motion
S. Stapfner, L. Ost, D. Hunger +3
Optical cavities with small mode volume are well-suited to detect the vibration of sub-wavelength sized objects. Here we employ a fiber-based, high-finesse optical microcavity to d…
DC voltage-sustained self-oscillation of a nano-mechanical electron shuttle
Daniel R. Koenig, Eva M. Weig
One core challenge of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) is their efficient actuation. A promising concept superseding resonant driving is self-oscillation. Here we demonstrate v…
Frequency and Q-factor control of nanomechanical resonators
Johannes Rieger, Thomas Faust, Maximilian J. Seitner +2
We present an integrated scheme for dielectric drive and read-out of high-Q nanomechanical resonators which enables tuning of both the resonance frequency and quality factor with a…
Non-adiabatic dynamics of two strongly coupled nanomechanical resonator modes
Thomas Faust, Johannes Rieger, Maximilian J. Seitner +3
The Landau-Zener transition is a fundamental concept for dynamical quantum systems and has been studied in numerous fields of physics. Here we present a classical mechanical model…
