Coherent phonon manipulation in coupled mechanical resonators

TLDR
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.
Abstract
It is now shown that phonons can be coherently transferred between two nanomechanical resonators, it is now shown. 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.

Entanglement between living bacteria and quantized light witnessed by Rabi splitting

TL;DR: In this paper, the Dicke model was used to model living sulphur bacteria interacting with quantised light, and it was shown that the strong coupling between the bacteria and the light, when both are treated quantum-mechanically, indicates that in those experiments there is entanglement between them and the quantized light (a single quantum harmonic oscillator).

Coherent Phonon Rabi Oscillations with a High-Frequency Carbon Nanotube Phonon Cavity.

TL;DR: Coherent phonon transfer is demonstrated in a carbon nanotube phonon-cavity system with two mechanical modes exhibiting strong dynamical coupling and the frequency quality factor product fQm is larger than kBTbase/h, which may enable the future realization of Rabi oscillations in the quantum regime.

Coherent phonon dynamics in spatially separated graphene mechanical resonators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate coherent Rabi oscillations between spatially separated resonators indirectly coupled via an intermediate resonator serving as a phonon cavity, where the Rabi frequency fits well with the microwave burst power on the control gate.

Quantum ground state and single-phonon control of a mechanical resonator

TL;DR: This work shows that conventional cryogenic refrigeration can be used to cool a mechanical mode to its quantum ground state by using a microwave-frequency mechanical oscillator—a ‘quantum drum’—coupled to a quantum bit, which is used to measure the quantum state of the resonator.
