Abstract

We demonstrate that the sub-shot-noise measurement of membrane’s displacement can be realized with the cooperation of membrane-based interferometer and quantum correlated light. This provides a new strategy to study cavity optomechanics with squeezed light.

Twin-beam-enhanced displacement measurement of a membrane in a cavity

Xinrui Wei, Jiteng Sheng, Yuelong Wu +2 more

We report an experimental demonstration of quantum-enhanced displacement measurement of a membrane in an optical cavity by using bright quantum correlated light to surpass the shot-noise limit (SNL). The optical cavity enhances the displacement signal and the twin beams suppress the noise background 3 dB below the SNL at an equivalent optical power. Thus, the signal-to-noise ratio is significantly improved by simultaneously using optical cavities and twin beams, and a sensitivity of 200 am/Hz is achieved. The frequency fluctuations of twin beams are analyzed and reduced by using optical twin cavities. These results provide a useful method for precision measurements as well as to control cavity optomechanical systems with nonclassical light.

Sub-shot-noise microcantilever displacement sensitivity achieved with multi-spatial-mode squeezed light requires unprecedented spatial control of the quantum-correlated modes. We demonstrate a simple approach to map these modes, enabling sub-shot noise microcantilever displacement measurements.

Selective Linear or Quadratic Optomechanical Coupling via Measurement

Michael Ross Vanner

Optomechanics uses light to generate, manipulate, and measure the quantum motion of a mechanical device that is compliant enough to move or vibrate upon the reflection of light. Michael R. Vanner from University of Vienna proposes a new optomechanical scheme to measure the displacement squared of a mechanical device in quantum motion.

Quantum enhanced imaging and sensing with correlated light

Nigam Samantaray

Without light, there would be no sight. Light acts as a probe in various measurement techniques ranging from imaging to spectroscopy, from small scale cantilever displace- ment measurement in atomic force microscopy to large scale mirror motion in interfer- ometry, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and many other fields. As the light probe intensity rises, it not only allows reducing the background noise effect, but it also aids precision to the measurement by reducing the photon noise (shot-noise) contribution. However, increasing intensity beyond certain threshold level is not always advantageous for ultra sensitive measurements. For example in the detection of gravitational waves, the current power circulating in the large scale interferometers can not be increased further without introducing other noise sources like thermal effects on the mirrors, un- wanted scattered photons, and back action due to radiation pressure. In the imaging of delicate photo sensitive sample, high power can causes cell damage or it may lead to disturb the regular process under investigation, viz. favouring certain biochemical reaction, which do not correspond to natural in vitro behaviour. At low intensity, pho- ton noise is an important concern and quantum states of light with correlated photon fluctuation can ideally represent a fruitful way to build specific measurement strategies to surpass the limitation of standard approach based on classical light sources, offering an avenue of solutions for ultra sensitive measurements. This thesis work focuses on two application of quantum enhanced measurement strate- gies. The first part of the thesis work has been dedicated to the realization of the first wide-field microscope with Sub Shot Noise (SSN) sensitivity. This is based on the ex- ploitation of quantum correlations in the Squeezed Vacuum state. In the second part, the investigations have made on the role of the quantum correlated beams in an unusual interferometric scheme, in which two identical optical interferometers are subject to the same phase fluctuation. The scheme, in the classical regime, has been already imple- mented in a large scale experiment devoted to the search of possible quantum gravity (QG) effects at Fermilab.
