Macroscopic mechanical oscillators at the quantum limit using optomechanical cooling
David Vitali, Stefano Mancini, Luciano Ribichini +1
We discuss how the optomechanical coupling provided by radiation pressure can be used to cool macroscopic collective degrees of freedom, as vibrational modes of movable mirrors. Co…
Decoherence control in microwave cavities
Stefano Zippilli, David Vitali, Paolo Tombesi +1
We present a scheme able to protect the quantum states of a cavity mode against the decohering effects of photon loss. The scheme preserves quantum states with a definite parity, a…
Characterizing the entanglement of bipartite quantum systems
Vittorio Giovannetti, Stefano Mancini, David Vitali +1
We derive a separability criterion for bipartite quantum systems which generalizes the already known criteria. It is based on observables having generic commutation relations. We t…
Stationary entanglement between macroscopic mechanical oscillators
Stefano Mancini, David Vitali, Vittorio Giovannetti +1
We show that the optomechanical coupling between an optical cavity mode and the two movable cavity end mirrors is able to entangle two different macroscopic oscillation modes of th…
Trapping and cooling single atoms with far-off resonance intracavity doughnut modes
Stefano Pirandola, David Vitali, Paolo Tombesi
We investigate cooling and trapping of single atoms inside an optical cavity using a quasi-resonant field and a far-off resonant mode of the Laguerre-Gauss type. The far-off resona…
Continuous variable teleportation of a quantum state onto a macroscopic body
Stefano Mancini, David Vitali, Paolo Tombesi
We study the possibility to teleport an unkown quantum state onto the vibrational degree of freedom of a movable mirror. The quantum channel between the two parties is established…
