Quantum Correlations of Light from a Room-Temperature Mechanical Oscillator
Quantum Correlations of Light from a Room-Temperature Mechanical Oscillator
The coupling of laser light to a mechanical oscillator via radiation pressure leads to the emergence of quantum mechanical correlations between the amplitude and phase quadrature of the laser beam. These correlations form a generic non-classical resource which can be employed for quantum-enhanced force metrology, and give rise to ponderomotive …
