Continuous Feedback and Macroscopic Coherence

Paolo Tombesi, David Vitali

Published Jan 1, 1996• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

We show that a model, recently introduced for quantum nondemolition measurements of a quantum observable, can be adapted to obtain a measurement scheme which is able to slow down the destruction of macroscopic coherence due to the measurement apparatus.

Macroscopic coherence via quantum feedback

It is shown that quantum-nondemolition-mediated feedback is able to preserve the interference fringes of the superposition of macroscopically distinguishable quantum states.

Optical feedback from quantum non-demolition measurements: How to realize a measurement apparatus to observe macroscopic quantum coherence

Paolo Tombesi, David Vitali

We show how a squeezed bath can be obtained by means of a suitable feedback of the output signal corresponding to a Quantum Non-Demolition (QND) measurement of an observable. We also show that a quantum non-demolition mediated feedback is able to preserve the interference fringes of the superposition of macroscopically distinguishable quantum states.

Quantum Nondemolition Measurement Enables Macroscopic Leggett-Garg Tests

Costantino Budroni, Giuseppe Vitagliano, Giorgio Colangelo +4 more

We show how a test of macroscopic realism based on Leggett-Garg inequalities (LGIs) can be performed in a macroscopic system. Using a continuous-variable approach, we consider quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements applied to atomic ensembles undergoing magnetically driven coherent oscillation. We identify measurement schemes requiring only Gaussian states as inputs and giving a significant LGI violation with realistic experimental parameters and imperfections. The predicted violation is shown to be due to true quantum effects rather than to a classical invasivity of the measurement. Using QND measurements to tighten the "clumsiness loophole" forces the stubborn macrorealist to recreate quantum backaction in his or her account of measurement.

Feedback Control in Quantum Optics: An Overview of Experimental Breakthroughs and Areas of Application

Alessio Serafini

We present a broad summary of research involving the application of quantum feedback control techniques to optical setups, from the early enhancement of optical amplitude squeezing to the recent stabilisation of photon number states in a microwave cavity, dwelling mostly on the latest experimental advances. Feedback control of quantum optical continuous variables, quantum nondemolition memories, feedback cooling, quantum state control, adaptive quantum measurements, and coherent feedback strategies will all be touched upon in our discussion.
