• Abstract: We study force gradient sensing by a coherently driven mechanical resonator with phase-sensitive detection of motion via the two-tone backaction evading measurement of cavity optomechanics. The response of the cavity to two coherent pumps is solved by numerical integration of the classical equations of motion, showing an extended region of monotonic response. We use Floquet theory to model the fluctuations, which rise only slightly above that of the usual backaction evading measurement in the presence of the mechanical drive. Our analysis indicates that this sensing technique is advantageous for applications such as Atomic Force Microscopy.

  The decoherence dynamics and spectral response of an optomechanical system is addressed.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide.

We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.
