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

Optomechanical Quantum Correlations

Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Nikolai N. Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jacob M. Taylor
We present methods to measure optical quantum correlations arising from an optomechanical interaction even when large classical noise sources are present. We demonstrate quantum- backaction-noise-calibrated Brownian motion thermometry as a metrological

This article describes a platform-independent software package for scripted lithography pattern layout generation and complex processing. The Nanolithography Toolbox, developed at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) at the National

Thermometry with Optomechanical Cavities

Thomas P. Purdy, Karen E. Grutter, Kartik Srinivasan, Nikolai Klimov, Zeeshan Ahmed, Jacob Taylor
Thermally-driven motion of a nanomechanical resonator may be employed as an absolute thermometer. We experimentally measure radiation pressure shot noise induced quantum correlations to absolutely calibrate the motional signal transduced onto an optical
