Coherent expansion of the motional state of a massive nanoparticle beyond its linear dimensions
R. Muffato, T. S. Georgescu, M. Carlesso +2
Quantum mechanics predicts that massive particles exhibit wave-like behavior. Matterwave interferometry has been able to validate such predictions through ground-breaking experimen…
Generation of classical non-Gaussian distributions by squeezing a thermal state into non-linear motion of levitated optomechanics
Rafael Muffato, Tiberius Georgescu, Jack Homans +6
We report on an experiment achieving the dynamical generation of non-Gaussian states of motion of a levitated optomechanical system. We access intrinsic Duffing-like nonlinearities…
Squeezing below the ground state of motion of a continuously monitored levitating nanoparticle
Qiongyuan Wu, Diana A. Chisholm, Rafael Muffato +5
Squeezing is a crucial resource for quantum information processing and quantum sensing. In levitated nanomechanics, squeezed states of motion can be generated via temporal control…
Nanoparticle Interferometer by Throw and Catch
Jakub Wardak, Tiberius Georgescu, Giulio Gasbarri +2
Matter-wave interferometry with increasingly larger masses could pave the way to understanding the nature of wavefunction collapse, the quantum to classical transition or even how…
