Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO
Haocun Yu, L. McCuller, M. Tse +196
Measurement of minuscule forces and displacements with ever greater precision encounters a limit imposed by a pillar of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. A l…
Gravitationally induced phase shift on a single photon
Christopher Hilweg, Francesco Massa, Denis Martynov +3
The effect of the Earth's gravitational potential on a quantum wave function has only been observed for massive particles. In this paper we present a scheme to measure a gravitatio…
