Optical read-out of the quantum motion of an array of atoms-based mechanical oscillators
Thierry Botter, Daniel W. C. Brooks, Sydney Schreppler +2
We create an ultracold-atoms-based cavity optomechanical system in which as many as six distinguishable mechanical oscillators are prepared, and optically detected, near their grou…
Optically detecting the quantization of collective atomic motion
Nathan Brahms, Thierry Botter, Sydney Schreppler +2
We directly measure the quantized collective motion of a gas of thousands of ultracold atoms, coupled to light in a high-finesse optical cavity. We detect strong asymmetries, as hi…
Ponderomotive light squeezing with atomic cavity optomechanics
Daniel W. C. Brooks, Thierry Botter, Nathan Brahms +3
Accessing distinctly quantum aspects of the interaction between light and the position of a mechanical object has been an outstanding challenge to cavity-optomechanical systems. On…
Linear Amplifier Model for Optomechanical Systems
Thierry Botter, Daniel W. C. Brooks, Nathan Brahms +2
We model optomechanical systems as linear optical amplifiers. This provides a unified treatment of diverse optomechanical phenomena. We emphasize, in particular, the relationship b…
Cavity-aided magnetic-resonance microscopy of atoms in optical lattices
Tom P. Purdy, Nathan Brahms, Daniel W. C. Brooks +2
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful technique for investigating the microscopic properties and dynamics of physical systems. In this work we demonstrate state-sensitive…
Tunable Cavity Optomechanics with Ultracold Atoms
T. P. Purdy, D. W. C. Brooks, T. Botter +3
We present an atom-chip-based realization of quantum cavity optomechanics with cold atoms localized within a Fabry-Perot cavity. Effective sub-wavelength positioning of the atomic…
