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…
Criticality-amplified quantum probing of a spontaneous collapse model
Giorgio Zicari, Matteo Carlesso, Andrea Trombettoni +1
Spontaneous collapse models, which are phenomenological mechanisms introduced and designed to account for dynamical wavepacket reduction, are attracting a growing interest from the…
On the effectiveness of the collapse in the Diósi-Penrose model
Laria Figurato, Marco Dirindin, José Luis Gaona-Reyes +3
The possibility that gravity plays a role in the collapse of the quantum wave function has been considered in the literature, and it is of relevance not only because it would provi…
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…
Non-interferometric rotational test of the Continuous Spontaneous Localisation model: enhancement of the collapse noise through shape optimisation
Davide Giordano Ario Altamura, Matteo Carlesso, Sandro Donadi +1
The Continuous Spontaneous Localisation (CSL) model is the most studied among collapse models, which describes the breakdown of the superposition principle for macroscopic systems.…
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…
