Nested Trampoline Resonators for Optomechanics

Matthew J. Weaver, Brian Pepper, Fernando Luna +7

Two major challenges in the development of optomechanical devices are achieving a low mechanical and optical loss rate and vibration isolation from the environment. We address both…

Experimental exploration of the optomechanical attractor diagram and its dynamics

Frank M. Buters, Hedwig J. Eerkens, Kier Heeck +4

We demonstrate experimental exploration of the attractor diagram of an optomechanical system where the optical forces compensate for the mechanical losses. In this case stable self…

Adiabatic computing using 2-local Hamiltonians on a line

Brian Pepper

Here we consider the power of a line of quantum particles under a nearest-neighbor 2-local Hamiltonian. Currently, it has been shown that 8-state particles are sufficient for unive…

Macroscopic superpositions via nested interferometry: finite temperature and decoherence considerations

Brian Pepper, Evan Jeffrey, Roohollah Ghobadi +2

Recently there has been much interest in optomechanical devices for the production of macroscopic quantum states. Here we focus on a proposed scheme for achieving macroscopic super…

Optomechanical superpositions via nested interferometry

Brian Pepper, Roohollah Ghobadi, Evan Jeffrey +2

We present a scheme for achieving macroscopic quantum superpositions in optomechanical systems by using single photon postselection and detecting them with nested interferometers.…

NMR multiple quantum coherences in quasi-one-dimensional spin systems: Comparison with ideal spin-chain dynamics

Wenxian Zhang, Paola Cappellaro, Natania Antler +5

The 19F spins in a crystal of fluorapatite have often been used to experimentally approximate a one-dimensional spin system. Under suitable multi-pulse control, the nuclear spin dy…
