Generation of classical non-Gaussian distributions by squeezing a thermal state into non-linear motion of levitated optomechanics

R Muffato, T Georgescu, J Homans, T Guerreiro… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We report on an experiment achieving the dynamical generation of non-Gaussian states of
motion of a levitated optomechanical system. We access intrinsic Duffing-like non-linearities …

Vacuum radiation versus shortcuts to adiabaticity

RR Ancheyta - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
The nonadiabatic dynamics of the electromagnetic field triggers photon generation from the
quantum vacuum. Shortcuts to adiabaticity, instead, are protocols that mimic the field's …
