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.

Spin Detection via Parametric Frequency Conversion in a Membrane Resonator

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to use two coupled ultracoherent resonator modes on a magnetic scanning tip for the detection of small nuclear spin ensembles, where the non-degenerate modes result from coupled degenerate resonators, and the parametric conversion is mediated by periodic inversions of the nuclear spins in the presence of a magnetic scanner.

Coherent interplay between surface acoustic waves and coupled mechanical resonators: transition from plasmon-like to surface mediated coupling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approach based on the interplay between a pair of localized mechanical resonators and travelling surface acoustic waves (SAW) for coherent control of mechanical vibration at a resonator level, and reciprocally for manipulating SAW propagation using sub-wavelength elements.

Laser cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator into its quantum ground state

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.

Microresonator-Based Optical Frequency Combs

TL;DR: A new optical frequency comb generation principle has emerged that uses parametric frequency conversion in high resonance quality factor (Q) microresonators, permitting an increased number of comb applications, such as in astronomy, microwave photonics, or telecommunications.
