Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of strong coupling between a micromechanical resonator and an optical cavity field
Simon Gröblacher,Klemens Hammerer,Klemens Hammerer,Michael R. Vanner,Michael R. Vanner,Markus Aspelmeyer +5 more
TL;DR: The observation of optomechanical normal mode splitting is reported, which provides unambiguous evidence for strong coupling of cavity photons to a mechanical resonator, which paves the way towards full quantum optical control of nano- and micromechanical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing Planck-scale physics with quantum optics
Igor Pikovski,Michael R. Vanner,Markus Aspelmeyer,Myungshik Kim,Časlav Brukner,Časlav Brukner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a quantum optical control and readout of a quantum oscillator with a mass close to the Planck mass is used to explore possible deviations from the quantum commutation relation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of an ultracold micro-optomechanical oscillator in a cryogenic cavity
Simon Gröblacher,Simon Gröblacher,Jared Hertzberg,Jared Hertzberg,Michael R. Vanner,Michael R. Vanner,Garrett D. Cole,Garrett D. Cole,Sylvain Gigan,K. C. Schwab,K. C. Schwab,Markus Aspelmeyer +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a micro-optomechanical resonator that is laser cooled to a level of 30 thermal quanta was reported, which is equivalent to the best nanomechanically devices, however, with a mass more than four orders of magnitude larger (43 ng versus 1 pg).
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulsed quantum optomechanics
Michael R. Vanner,Igor Pikovski,Garrett D. Cole,Myungshik Kim,Časlav Brukner,Klemens Hammerer,Gerard J. Milburn,Markus Aspelmeyer +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme to realize quantum state tomography, squeezing, and state purification of a mechanical resonator using short optical pulses is presented, allowing observation of mechanical quantum features despite preparation from a thermal state and is experimentally feasible using optical microcavities.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-fidelity transmission of polarization encoded qubits from an entangled source over 100 km of fiber
Hannes Hübel,Michael R. Vanner,Thomas Lederer,B. Blauensteiner,Thomas Lorünser,Andreas Poppe,Anton Zeilinger +6 more
TL;DR: Measurements of the two-photon visibility have shown that the quantum correlations allow secure quantum cryptography after 100 km of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber using commercially available single photon detectors, and quantum state tomography has revealed little degradation of state negativity.
