Force sensing beyond the standard quantum limit in a hybrid optomechanical platform

Alolika Roy, Amarendra K. Sarma

We theoretically investigate quantum measurement noise in a hybrid optomechanical system, focusing on radiation-pressure back-action and its impact on force sensing. The setup consists of an optomechanical cavity with a movable mirror, a fixed semitransparent mirror, an ensemble of quantum dots (QDs) coupled to the cavity mode, and an intracavity optical parametric amplifier (OPA). We show how the QD-induced response, together with the system nonlinearity, modifies the noise spectral density and thereby improves the force measurement sensitivity. In this setup, coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) can completely remove the back-action noise. In addition, increasing the OPA pump gain enables sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit (SQL) at reduced laser power. These combined effects allow weak-force sensing beyond the SQL.

Quantum Spectroscopy of Plasmonic Nanostructures

Ultrasensitive optical sensing based on surface plasmons requires nonintrusive weak light and a large signal-to-noise ratio. Using quantum mechanically entangled photon pairs, experimentalists exploit the quantum entanglement for noise cancellation and achieve sensing at the single-photon scale and in the presence of a noise level 70 times higher than the signal.
