Signatures of two-level defects in the temperature-dependent damping of nanomechanical silicon nitride resonators
Thomas Faust, Johannes Rieger, Maximilian J. Seitner +2
The damping rates of high quality factor nanomechanical resonators are well beyond intrinsic limits. Here, we explore the underlying microscopic loss mechanisms by investigating th…
Coherent control of a nanomechanical two-level system
Thomas Faust, Johannes Rieger, Maximilian J. Seitner +2
The Bloch sphere is a generic picture describing a coupled two-level system and the coherent dynamics of its superposition states under control of electromagnetic fields. It is com…
Frequency and Q-factor control of nanomechanical resonators
Johannes Rieger, Thomas Faust, Maximilian J. Seitner +2
We present an integrated scheme for dielectric drive and read-out of high-Q nanomechanical resonators which enables tuning of both the resonance frequency and quality factor with a…
Non-adiabatic dynamics of two strongly coupled nanomechanical resonator modes
Thomas Faust, Johannes Rieger, Maximilian J. Seitner +3
The Landau-Zener transition is a fundamental concept for dynamical quantum systems and has been studied in numerous fields of physics. Here we present a classical mechanical model…
