Narrowband Optomechanical Refrigeration of a Chiral Bath

August 7, 2017
Author(s)
Jacob M. Taylor, Kim Seunghwi, Xu Xunnong, Gaurav Bahl
The transport of sound and heat, in the form of phonons, is fundamentally limited by disorder-induced scattering. In electronic and optical settings, introduction of chiral transport - in which carriers have unidirectional propagation - provides robustness

Noise Refocusing in a Five-blade Neutron Interferometer

August 1, 2017
Author(s)
Michael G. Huber, Muhammad D. Arif, Dimitry A. Pushin, David G. Cory, Dusan Sarenac, Joachim Nsofini, Kamyar Ghofrani
We provide a quantum information description of a proposed five-blade neutron interferometer geometry and show that it is robust against low-frequency mechanical vibrations and dephasing due to the dynamical phase. The extent to which the dynamical phase

Demonstration of efficient nonreciprocity in a microwave optomechanical circuit

July 6, 2017
Author(s)
Gabriel A. Peterson, Florent Q. Lecocq, Katarina Cicak, Raymond W. Simmonds, Jose A. Aumentado, John D. Teufel
Abstract The ability to engineer nonreciprocal interactions is an essential tool in modern communication technology as well as a powerful resource for building quantum networks. Aside from large reverse isolation, a nonreciprocal device suitable for

Identification of nonclassical properties of light with multiplexing layouts

July 6, 2017
Author(s)
Jan Sperling, Andreas Eckstein, W.R. Clements, Meritt Moore, Jelmer Renema, Steven Kolthammer, Sae Woo Nam, Adriana Lita, Thomas Gerrits, Ian Walmsley, G.S. Agarwal, Wolfgang Vogel
In our work, we introduce and apply a detector-independent method to uncover nonclassicality. In this contribution, we extend those techniques and give more details on the performed nalysis. We derive the general structure of the positive-operator-valued

Optical Radiation from Integer Quantum Hall States in Dirac Materials

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Jacob M. Taylor, Mohammad Hafezi
Quantum Hall systems exhibit topologically protected edge states, which can have a macroscopic spatial extent. Such edge states provide a unique opportunity to study a quantum emitter whose size far exceeds the wavelength of emitted light. To better

Software for complete mode structure analysis of a light field

June 26, 2017
Author(s)
Ivan A. Burenkov, Sergey V. Polyakov
We present a software package aimed at simulating photon-number probability distributions of a range of naturally occurring classical and non-classical states of light. This software can generate arbitrary probability distributions based on the known mode

Optomechanical Quantum Correlations at Room Temperature

June 23, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Jacob M. Taylor
By shining laser light through a nanomechanical beam, we measure the beam’s thermally driven vibrations and perturb its motion with optical forces at a level dictated by the Heisenberg measurement-disturbance uncertainty relation. Such quantum effects are

Counting Near Infrared Photons with Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors

May 22, 2017
Author(s)
Jiansong Gao, Michael R. Vissers, Joel N. Ullom, Johannes Hubmayr, Joseph W. Fowler, Leila R. Vale, Weijie Guo
We demonstrate photon counting at 1550~nm wavelength using microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made from TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer films with superconducting transition temperature $T_{c} \sim$ 1.4~K. The detector has a lump-element design with a

Trion Valley Coherence in Monolayer Semiconductors

May 22, 2017
Author(s)
Kai Hao, Lixiang Xu, Wu Fengcheng, Philip Nagler, Kha Tran, Xin Ma, Tobias Korn, Allan H. MacDonald, Xiaoqin Li, Galan Moody
The emerging field of valleytronics aims to exploit the valley pseudospin of electrons residing near Bloch band extrema as an information carrier. Recent experiments demonstrating optical generation and manipulation of exciton valley coherence (the

A telecom-band cavity-enhanced single-photon source with high klyshko efficiencies

May 18, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Lu Xiyuan, Steven Rogers, W C. Wiang, Sae Woo Nam, Qiang Lin
We develop an on-chip telecom-band single-photon source with Klyshko efficiencies up to 48%, the highest value for cavity-enhanced photon sources. For the first time, we relate Klyshko efficiency to high-order correlations and verify this relation
