Quantum measurements between a single spin and a torsional nanomechanical resonator

Brian D’Urso, M V Gurudev Dutt, Shonali Dhingra +1 more

While the motions of macroscopic objects must ultimately be governed by quantum mechanics, the distinctive features of quantum mechanics can be hidden or washed out by thermal excitations and coupling to the environment. We propose a system consisting of a graphene nanomechanical oscillator (NMO) coupled with a single spin through a uniform external magnetic field, which could become the building block for a wide range of quantum nanomechanical devices. The choice of graphene as the NMO material is critical for minimizing the moment of inertia of the oscillator. The spin originates from a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in a diamond nanocrystal that is positioned on the NMO. This coupling results in quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements of the oscillator and spin states, enabling a bridge between the quantum and classical worlds for a simple readout of the NV center spin and observation of the discrete states of the NMO.

Quantum measurement with nanomechanical systems

Keith Schwab

The technology exists for preparing and measuring nanoscale mechanical systems at the quantum limit. A nanomechanical system has recently demonstrated the fundamental limit for heat flow through discrete channels. This universal energy transport limit is intimately related to the predicted maximum information rate per channel. I will discuss this measurement and experiments that are under preparation at LPS, using nanomechanical resonators with rf-SET read-out to achieve positive detection limited by the uncertainty principle: the standard quantum limit. This system offers the possibility of implementing advanced measurement strategies, such as quantum non-demolition techniques, to beat this limit. In addition to revealing the fascinating collective quantum behavior of 10^(10) atoms, developing ultra0sensitive position sensors may be important for quantum computing applications such as single electron spin read-out with cantilevers, and provide an understanding of the interaction between delicate quantum systems and real read-out devices.
