Sympathetic cooling of a membrane oscillator in a hybrid mechanical-atomic system
Andreas Jöckel, Aline Faber, Tobias Kampschulte +3
Sympathetic cooling with ultracold atoms and atomic ions enables ultralow temperatures in systems where direct laser or evaporative cooling is not possible. It has so far been limi…
Cavity-Enhanced Long-Distance Coupling of an Atomic Ensemble to a Micromechanical Membrane
B. Vogell, K. Stannigel, P. Zoller +5
We discuss a hybrid quantum system where a dielectric membrane situated inside an optical cavity is coupled to a distant atomic ensemble trapped in an optical lattice. The coupling…
Spectroscopy of mechanical dissipation in micro-mechanical membranes
Andreas Jöckel, Matthew T. Rakher, Maria Korppi +4
We measure the frequency dependence of the mechanical quality factor (Q) of SiN membrane oscillators and observe a resonant variation of Q by more than two orders of magnitude. The…
Realization of an optomechanical interface between ultracold atoms and a membrane
Stephan Camerer, Maria Korppi, Andreas Jöckel +3
We have realized a hybrid optomechanical system by coupling ultracold atoms to a micromechanical membrane. The atoms are trapped in an optical lattice, which is formed by retro-ref…
Coupling ultracold atoms to mechanical oscillators
David Hunger, Stephan Camerer, Maria Korppi +3
In this article we discuss and compare different ways to engineer an interface between ultracold atoms and micro- and nanomechanical oscillators. We start by analyzing a direct mec…
