Creating and verifying a quantum superposition in a micro-optomechanical system
Creating and verifying a quantum superposition in a micro-optomechanical system
Micro-optomechanical systems are central to a number of recent proposals for realizing quantum mechanical effects in relatively massive systems. Here we focus on a particular class of experiments which aim to demonstrate massive quantum superpositions, although the obtained results should be generalizable to similar experiments. We analyze in detail the …
