Heat transport in harmonic oscillator systems with thermal baths: application to optomechanical arrays

A Xuereb, A Imparato, A Dantan - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the transport of phonons between N harmonic oscillators in contact with
independent thermal baths and coupled to a common oscillator, and derive an expression …

Micromechanical characterization of ALD thin films

M Berdova - 2015 - aaltodoc.aalto.fi
Atomic layer deposited (ALD) films have become essential for various
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) due to their excellent properties: ALD films are …

Arbitrary state preparation of a mechanical resonator via controlled pulse sha** and projective measurement in a qubit-resonator interaction

KE Khosla - arxiv preprint arxiv:1808.05666, 2018 - arxiv.org
We introduce a protocol capable of generating a general measurement operator for a
mechanical resonator. The technique requires a qubit-resonator interaction and uses a …
