Coupling a superconducting quantum circuit to a phononic crystal defect cavity
Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Marek Pechal +3
Connecting nanoscale mechanical resonators to microwave quantum circuits opens new avenues for storing, processing, and transmitting quantum information. In this work, we couple a…
Engineering phonon leakage in nanomechanical resonators
Rishi N. Patel, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Wentao Jiang +2
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a technique for coupling phonons out of an optomechanical crystal cavity. By designing a perturbation that breaks a symmetry in the elasti…
Design of nanobeam photonic crystal resonators for a silicon-on-lithium-niobate platform
Jeremy D. Witmer, Jeff T. Hill, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini
We outline the design for a photonic crystal resonator made in a hybrid Silicon/Lithium Niobate material system. Using the index contrast between silicon and lithium niobate, it is…
Guided acoustic and optical waves in silicon-on-insulator for Brillouin scattering and optomechanics
Christopher J. Sarabalis, Jeff T. Hill, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini
We numerically study silicon waveguides on silica showing that it is possible to simultaneously guide optical and acoustic waves in the technologically important silicon on insulat…
Squeezing of light via reflection from a silicon micromechanical resonator
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Simon Groeblacher, Jeff T. Hill +3
We present the measurement of squeezed light generation using an engineered optomechanical system fabricated from a silicon microchip and composed of a micromechanical resonator co…
Laser noise in cavity-optomechanical cooling and thermometry
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jasper Chan, Jeff T. Hill +5
We review and study the roles of quantum and classical fluctuations in recent cavity-optomechanical experiments which have now reached the quantum regime (mechanical phonon occupan…
