Quantum manipulation of macroscopic mechanical systems is of great interest in both
fundamental physics and applications ranging from high-precision metrology to quantum …

To search for and exploit quantum manifestations of classical nonlinear dynamics is one of
the most fundamental problems in physics. Using optomechanical systems as a paradigm …

We study the entanglement distillation in continuous-variable systems when a photon
replacement protocol is employed. A cascaded protocol is studied and we find that the …

The ability to cool single ions, atomic ensembles, and more recently macroscopic degrees of
freedom down to the quantum ground state has generated considerable progress and …

Optomechanical devices based on sliced silicon photonic crystal nanobeams could have
several use cases in future quantum technologies, especially as quantum transducers …

We give a theoretical study of a double-cavity system in which a mechanical resonator beam
is coupled to two cavity modes on both sides through radiation pressures. The indirect …

We provide a full quantum description of the optomechanical system formed by a Fabry-
Pérot cavity with a movable micromechanical mirror whose center-of-mass and internal …

Dynamical backaction has proven to be a versatile tool in cavity optomechanics, allowing for
precise manipulation of a mechanical resonator's motion using confined optical photons. In …

Quantum computation is a rapidly growing field with multiple functional proof of concept
devices. As none of them have shown a provable advantage over classical systems …

The relationship between the photothermal cooling efficiency of a micro-cantilever's
mechanical mode and the environmental temperature is studied. The micro-cantilever and a …
