Engineering Superposition States and Tailored Probes for Nano-resonators Via Open-Loop Control
Kurt Jacobs, Lin Tian, Justin Finn
We show that a nano-resonator can be prepared in mesoscopic-superposition states merely by monitoring a qubit coupled to the square of the resonators position. This works for therm…

Back-action evasion and squeezing of a mechanical resonator using a cavity detector
A. A. Clerk, F. Marquardt, K. Jacobs
We study the quantum measurement of a cantilever using a parametrically-coupled electromagnetic cavity which is driven at the two sidebands corresponding to the mechanical motion.…

Engineering Quantum States of a Nano-Resonator via a Simple Auxiliary System
Kurt Jacobs
We show how to engineer an extensive range of non-linear Hamiltonians for a nano-mechanical resonator. The technique requires only a time dependent drive applied to a Cooper-pair b…
