Quantitative calibration of a TWPA applied to an optomechanical platform
Alexandre Delattre, Ilya Golokolenov, Richard Pedurand +11
In the last decade, the microwave quantum electronics toolbox has been enriched with quantum-limited detection devices such as Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs). The ext…
Aluminum goalpost nano-mechanical devices at low temperatures
Baptiste Alperin, Ilya Golokolenov, Gwénaëlle Julié +3
Mechanical objects have been widely used at low temperatures for decades, for various applications; from quantum fluids sensing with vibrating wires or tuning forks, to torsional o…
Self-sustained optomechanical state destruction triggered by the Kerr nonlinearity
A. Delattre, I. Golokolenov, R. Pedurand +3
Cavity optomechanics implements a unique platform where moving objects can be probed by quantum fields, either laser light or microwave signals. With a pump tone driving at a frequ…
