Standard Quantum Limit for Probing Mechanical Energy Quantization
Haixing Miao, Stefan Danilishin, Thomas Corbitt +1
We derive a standard quantum limit for probing mechanical energy quantization in a class of systems with mechanical modes parametrically coupled to external degrees of freedom. To…
Creation of a quantum oscillator by classical control
Stefan Danilishin, Helge Müller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein +7
As a pure quantum state is being approached via linear feedback, and the occupation number approaches and eventually goes below unity, optimal control becomes crucial. We obtain th…
Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2
We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…
A route to observing ponderomotive entanglement with optically trapped mirrors
Christopher Wipf, Thomas Corbitt, Yanbei Chen +1
The radiation pressure of two detuned laser beams can create a stable trap for a suspended cavity mirror; here it is shown that such a configuration entangles the output light fiel…
Optical dilution and feedback cooling of a gram-scale oscillator to 6.9 mK
Thomas Corbitt, Christopher Wipf, Timothy Bodiya +5
We report on use of a radiation pressure induced restoring force, the optical spring effect, to optically dilute the mechanical damping of a 1 gram suspended mirror, which is then…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
