Coherent expansion of the motional state of a massive nanoparticle beyond its linear dimensions
R. Muffato, T. S. Georgescu, M. Carlesso +2
Quantum mechanics predicts that massive particles exhibit wave-like behavior. Matterwave interferometry has been able to validate such predictions through ground-breaking experimen…

Squeezing below the ground state of motion of a continuously monitored levitating nanoparticle
Qiongyuan Wu, Diana A. Chisholm, Rafael Muffato +5
Squeezing is a crucial resource for quantum information processing and quantum sensing. In levitated nanomechanics, squeezed states of motion can be generated via temporal control…

Generation of classical non-Gaussian distributions by squeezing a thermal state into non-linear motion of levitated optomechanics
Rafael Muffato, Tiberius Georgescu, Jack Homans +6
We report on an experiment achieving the dynamical generation of non-Gaussian states of motion of a levitated optomechanical system. We access intrinsic Duffing-like nonlinearities…
