Abstract:
Over the last decades, quantum effects in
vibrations of micromechanical resonators
have been observed in a surprising range
of experiments. Achieving the quantum
regime with tangible motion of solid
objects has both piqued the curiosity of
physicists, and enabled new approaches to
difficult tasks in manipulating quantum
information. I will present experiments in our group that
measure the motion of
micromachined drums, and discuss how they
evolved from a rich history of read-out
and control in quantum optics and
precision measurement.
I will highlight our current efforts to
use mechanical motion as a link between
quantum states in disparate parts of the
electromagnetic spectrum.
