Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM)
resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …

ABSTRACT A new type of quantum interferometer was recently realized that employs
parametric amplifiers (PAs) as the wave splitting and mixing elements. The quantum …

A major achievement of the past decade has been the realization of macroscopic quantum
systems by exploiting the interactions between optical cavities and mechanical resonators …

The quantum nonlinear regime of optomechanics is reached when nonlinear effects of the
radiation pressure interaction are observed at the single-photon level. This requires …

The standard quantum limit constrains the precision of an oscillator position measurement. It
arises from a balance between the imprecision and the quantum backaction of the …

Understanding and controlling modal coupling in micro/nanomechanical devices is integral
to the design of high-accuracy timing references and inertial sensors. However, insight into …

This paper considers nonlinear interactions between vibration modes with a focus on recent
studies relevant to micro-and nanoscale mechanical resonators. Due to their inherently …

We report the experimental observation of two-mode squeezing in the oscillation
quadratures of a thermal micro-oscillator. This effect is obtained by parametric modulation of …

Because of the broken time-translation symmetry, in periodically driven vibrational systems
fluctuations of different vibration components have different intensities. Fluctuations of one of …
