Quantum levitated optomechanics : theory and experimental simulation

去年，悬浮光力学装置已经成功地将二氧化硅微球冷却到零点运动以上的一小部分量子。然而，这是沿着单一自由度完成的，对于未来的干涉测量和位移传感来说，研究二维和三维的量子冷却是有价值的。此外，该社区的一个主要目标是生成可用于基础应用和量子技术的非经典状态。该项目将包括数学分析、数值模拟和与实验合作者的密切接触。

In the last year, levitated optomechanics set-ups have succeeded in cooling silica noospheres to within a fraction of a Quantum above the zero point motion. However, this has been done along a single degree of freedom and for future interferometry and displacement sensing it is valuable to investigate quantum cooling in two and three dimensions. In addition, a major goal for the community is to generate non-classical states that can be exploited for fundamental applications and quantum technologies. The projectwill involve a mixture of mathematical analysis, numerical simulation and close contact with experimental collaborators.
