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.

Strong indirect coupling between graphene-based mechanical resonators via a phonon cavity

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental observation of strong indirect coupling between separated mechanical resonators in a graphene-based electromechanical system is reported. But the results may lead to the development of gate-controlled all-mechanical devices and open up the possibility of long-distance quantum mechanical experiments.

Ultra-Sensitive Force Transduction in Weakly Coupled Resonators

TL;DR: In this article, a transducer configuration employing weakly coupled resonators demonstrating significant modal overlap is reported. But, the sensitivity of such systems significantly increases as the coupling strength between resonators is reduced, moving the system to a regime described by modality overlap.

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).

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.
