Simultaneous ground-state cooling of two mechanical modes of a levitated nanoparticle
Johannes Piotrowski, Dominik Windey, Jayadev Vijayan +7
The quantum ground state of a massive mechanical system is a steppingstone for investigating macroscopic quantum states and building high fidelity sensors. With the recent achievem…
Mechanical squeezing via unstable dynamics in a microcavity
Katja Kustura, Carlos Gonzalez-Ballestero, Andrés de los Ríos Sommer +3
We theoretically show that strong mechanical quantum squeezing in a linear optomechanical system can be rapidly generated through the dynamical instability reached in the far red-d…
Levitodynamics: Levitation and control of microscopic objects in vacuum
C. Gonzalez-Ballestero, M. Aspelmeyer, L. Novotny +2
The control of levitated nano- and micro-objects in vacuum is of considerable interest, capitalizing on the scientific achievements in the fields of atomic physics, control theory…
Strong Optomechanical Coupling at Room Temperature by Coherent Scattering
Andrés de los Ríos Sommer, Nadine Meyer, Romain Quidant
Quantum control of a system requires the manipulation of quantum states faster than any decoherence rate. For mesoscopic systems, this has so far only been reached by few cryogenic…
Resolved Sideband Cooling of a Levitated Nanoparticle in the Presence of Laser Phase Noise
Nadine Meyer, Andres de los Rios Sommer, Pau Mestres +4
We investigate the influence of laser phase noise heating on resolved sideband cooling in the context of cooling the center-of-mass motion of a levitated nanoparticle in a high-fin…
Theory of self-induced back-action optical trapping in nanophotonic systems
Lukas Neumeier, Romain Quidant, Darrick E. Chang
Optical trapping is an indispensable tool in physics and the life sciences. However, there is a clear trade off between the size of a particle to be trapped, its spatial confinemen…
