Coherent control of a classical nanomechanical two-level system

TLDR
In this paper, the authors demonstrated coherent control of two flexural modes of a nanoscale oscillator using radiofrequency signals, analogous to quantum two-level systems such as superconducting circuits and quantum dots, and therefore raised the possibility of information processing using nanomechanical resonators.
Abstract
Coherent control of two flexural modes of a nanoscale oscillator using radiofrequency signals is now demonstrated. This oscillator is analogous to quantum two-level systems such as superconducting circuits and quantum dots, and therefore this technique raises the possibility of information processing using nanomechanical resonators.

Quantum sensing

Abstract: "Quantum sensing" describes the use of a quantum system, quantum properties or quantum phenomena to perform a measurement of a physical quantity Historical examples of quantum sensors include magnetometers based on superconducting quantum interference devices and atomic vapors, or atomic clocks More recently, quantum sensing has become a distinct and rapidly growing branch of research within the area of quantum science and technology, with the most common platforms being spin qubits, trapped ions and flux qubits The field is expected to provide new opportunities - especially with regard to high sensitivity and precision - in applied physics and other areas of science In this review, we provide an introduction to the basic principles, methods and concepts of quantum sensing from the viewpoint of the interested experimentalist

Coherent phonon manipulation in coupled mechanical resonators

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that phonons can be coherently transferred between two nanomechanical resonators, and the technique of controlling the coupling between nanoscale oscillators using a piezoelectric transducer is useful for manipulating classical oscillations, but if extended to the quantum regime it could also enable entanglement of macroscopic mechanical objects.

General description of quasiadiabatic dynamical phenomena near exceptional points

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a characteristic system evolution consisting of periods of quasistationarity interrupted by abrupt nonadiabatic transitions and connect the problem to the phenomenon of stability loss delay.

Laser cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator into its quantum ground state

TL;DR: In this article, a coupled, nanoscale optical and mechanical resonator formed in a silicon microchip is used to cool the mechanical motion down to its quantum ground state (reaching an average phonon occupancy number of 0.85±0.08).
