Measurement of the Casimir force between superconductors

Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Evren Korkmazgil, Louise Banniard +2

The Casimir force follows from quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field and yields a nonlinear attractive force between closely spaced conductive objects. Measuring the Ca…

Simulating the electrostatic patch force in experimental geometries

Matthijs H. J. de Jong, Laure Mercier de Lépinay

Potential patches are responsible for a force between closely-spaced objects that forms a parasitic contribution to sensitive force measurements. Existing analytical models cannot…

Ground-state cooling of a mechanical oscillator by heating

Cheng Wang, Louise Banniard, Kjetil Børkje +3

Dissipation and the accompanying fluctuations are often seen as detrimental for quantum systems, since they are associated with fast relaxation and loss of phase coherence. However…

Deviation from the normal mode expansion in a coupled graphene-nanomechanical system

Cornelia Schwarz, Benjamin Pigeau, Laure Mercier de Lépinay +6

We optomechanically measure the vibrations of a nanomechanical system made of a graphene membrane suspended on a silicon nitride nanoresonator. When probing the thermal noise of th…

Observation of a phononic Mollow triplet in a hybrid spin-nanomechanical system

Benjamin Pigeau, Sven Rohr, Laure Mercier de Lépinay +3

Reminiscent of the bound character of a qubit's dynamics confined on the Bloch sphere, the observation of a Mollow triplet in the resonantly driven qubit fluorescence spectrum repr…
