Scalable Ion Fluorescence Collection Using a Trap-Integrated Metalens
Hae Lim, Johannes E. Fröch, Christian M. Pluchar +2
A scaled trapped-ion quantum computer will require efficient fluorescence collection across a large area. Here we propose and demonstrate a compact monolithically integrated system…
Imaging-based Quantum Optomechanics
Christian M. Pluchar, Wenhua He, Jack Manley +3
In active imaging protocols, information about an object is encoded into the spatial mode of a scattered photon. Recently the quantum limits of active imaging have been explored wi…
Ultrahigh-Q Torsional Nanomechanics through Bayesian Optimization
Atkin D. Hyatt, Aman R. Agrawal, Christian M. Pluchar +2
Recently it was discovered that torsion modes of strained nanoribbons exhibit dissipation dilution, giving a route to enhanced torque sensing and quantum optomechanics experiments.…
Ultralow loss torsion micropendula for chipscale gravimetry
C. A. Condos, J. R. Pratt, J. Manley +4
We explore a new class of chipscale torsion pendula formed by SiN nanoribbon suspensions. Owing to their unique hierarchy of gravitational, tensile, and elastic stiffness,…
Quantum limited imaging of a nanomechanical resonator with a spatial mode sorter
Morgan Choi, Christian Pluchar, Wenhua He +2
We explore the use of a spatial mode sorter to image a nanomechanical resonator, with the goal of studying the quantum limits of active imaging and extending the toolbox for optome…
