We present an experimental proposal for the rapid preparation of the center of mass of a
levitated particle in a macroscopic quantum state, that is a state delocalized over a length …

Mechanical systems prepared in quantum non-Gaussian states constitute a new advanced
class of phenomena breaking the laws of classical physics. Specifically, such mechanical …

We introduce a method to solve nonlinear open quantum dynamics of a particle in situations
where its state undergoes significant expansion in phase space while generating small …

We derive an analytical expression of a Wigner function that approximately describes the
time evolution of the one-dimensional motion of a particle in a nonharmonic potential. Our …

Levitated nanoparticles provide a controllable and isolated platform for probing fundamental
quantum phenomena at the macroscopic scale. In this work we introduce an optimization …

Linearized stochastic nanomechanical systems operating at nonzero temperatures and
constant frequency and damping are restricted in their capacity to reduce noise in nonlinear …
