Optical Levitation of a Mirror for Reaching the Standard Quantum Limit
Yuta Michimura, Yuya Kuwahara, Takafumi Ushiba +2
We propose a new method to optically levitate a macroscopic mirror with two vertical Fabry-P{é}rot cavities linearly aligned. This configuration gives the simplest possible optical…
Direct measurement of the optical trap-induced decoherence
Nobuyuki Matsumoto, Kentaro Komori, Sosuke Ito +2
Thermal decoherence is a major obstacle to the realization of quantum coherence for massive mechanical oscillators. Although optical trapping has been used to reduce the thermal de…
Higher order test of Lorentz invariance with an optical ring cavity
Yuta Michimura, Jake Guscott, Matthew Mewes +5
We have developed an apparatus to search for the higher-order Lorentz violation in photons by measuring the resonant frequency difference between two counterpropagating directions…
