- Abstract summary: Continuous measurements of the position of an oscillator become projective when the measurements are made faster than the coherent evolution.
We show that correlations between the quadratures of the meter light field squeeze the fluctuations of the light quadratures below the vacuum level.
Our results demonstrate a new regime of continuous quantum measurements on material oscillators, and set a new benchmark for the performance of a linear quantum sensor.

- Abstract: Continuous measurements of the position of an oscillator become projective on
position eigenstates when the measurements are made faster than the coherent
evolution. We evidence an effect of this transition on a spin oscillator within
an ensemble of $2\times10^{10}$ room-temperature atoms by observing
correlations between the quadratures of the meter light field. These
correlations squeeze the fluctuations of the light quadratures below the vacuum
level. When the measurement is slower than the oscillation, we generate 11.5 dB
and detect 8.5 dB of squeezing in a tunable band that is a fraction of the
resonance frequency. When the measurement is as fast as the oscillation, we
detect 4.7 dB of squeezing that spans more than one decade of frequencies below
the resonance. Our results demonstrate a new regime of continuous quantum
measurements on material oscillators, and set a new benchmark for the
performance of a linear quantum sensor.

The induced twist rotates a flat optical mirror on top of this chiral element, leading to the deflection of an incident laser beam.
We estimate a gravitational wave strain sensitivity between 10-21/sqrtHz and 10-23/sqrtHz at around 10 kHz frequency.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.

Revisiting the "Narrow Band Noise" Concept [58.720142291102135]
We report on current oscillations in quasi two-dimensional (2D) 1T-TaS2 charge-density-wave devices.
The MHz-frequency range of the oscillations and the linear dependence of the frequency of the oscillations on the current resemble the "narrow band noise"
Analysis of the biasing conditions and current indicate that the observed oscillations are related to the current instabilities due to the voltage-induced transition from the nearly commensurate to incommensurate charge-density-wave phase.
