Shot-to-shot noise cancellation for parametric oscillators
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
Powerful approaches to squeeze the motional state of a harmonic oscillator rely on the stepwise modulation of its resonance frequency. Such protocols can be limited by forces that…
Nanomechanical sensor resolving impulsive forces below its zero-point fluctuations
Martynas Skrabulis, Martin Colombano Sosa, Nicola Carlon Zambon +4
The sensitivity of a mechanical transducer is ultimately limited by its inherent quantum fluctuations. Here, we use an optically levitated nanoparticle to measure impulsive forces…
Shot-to-shot displacement noise in state-expansion protocols with inverted potentials
Giuseppe Paolo Seta, Louisiane Devaud, Lorenzo Dania +2
Optically levitated nanoparticles are promising candidates for the generation of macroscopic quantum states of mechanical motion. Protocols to generate such states expose the parti…
Trap-to-trap free falls with an optically levitated nanoparticle
M. Luisa Mattana, Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi +4
We perform free-fall experiments with a charge-neutral, optically levitated nanoparticle. This is achieved using an optical tweezer that can be rapidly toggled on and off and verti…
High-purity quantum optomechanics at room temperature
Lorenzo Dania, Oscar Schmitt Kremer, Johannes Piotrowski +6
Exploiting quantum effects of mechanical motion, such as backaction evading measurements or squeezing, requires preparation of the oscillator in a high-purity state. The largest st…
Motional entanglement of remote optically levitated nanoparticles
Nicola Carlon Zambon, Massimiliano Rossi, Martin Frimmer +4
We show how to entangle the motion of optically levitated nanoparticles in distant optical tweezers. The scheme consists in coupling the inelastically scattered light of each parti…
