A macroscopic object passively cooled into its quantum ground state of motion beyond single-mode cooling (2021)
Journal Article
Cattiaux, D., Golokolenov, I., Kumar, S., Sillanpää, M., Mercier de Lépinay, L., Gazizulin, R. R., …Collin, E. (2021). A macroscopic object passively cooled into its quantum ground state of motion beyond single-mode cooling. Nature Communications, 12(1), Article 6182. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26457-8

The nature of the quantum-to-classical crossover remains one of the most challenging open question of Science to date. In this respect, moving objects play a specific role. Pioneering experiments over the last few years have begun exploring quantum b...

Josephson photonics with simultaneous resonances (2021)
Journal Article
Wood, K., Armour, A. D., & Lang, B. (2021). Josephson photonics with simultaneous resonances. Physical Review B, 104(15), Article 155424. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.104.155424

Inelastic Cooper pair tunneling across a voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with one or more microwave cavities can generate photons via resonant processes in which the energy lost by the Cooper pair matches that of the photon(s) produced. W... Read More about Josephson photonics with simultaneous resonances.

Quantum estimation of coupling strengths in driven-dissipative optomechanics (2021)
Journal Article
Sala, K., Doicin, T., Armour, A. D., & Tufarelli, T. (2021). Quantum estimation of coupling strengths in driven-dissipative optomechanics. Physical Review A, 104(3), Article 033508. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.033508

We exploit local quantum estimation theory to investigate the measurement of linear (g1) and quadratic (g2) coupling strengths in a driven-dissipative optomechanical system in the red-sideband regime. We consider model parameters inspired by recent e... Read More about Quantum estimation of coupling strengths in driven-dissipative optomechanics.

Multi-Photon Resonances in Josephson Junction-Cavity Circuits (2021)
Journal Article
Lang, B., & Armour, A. (2021). Multi-Photon Resonances in Josephson Junction-Cavity Circuits. New Journal of Physics, 23(3), Article 033021. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/abe483

We explore the dissipative dynamics of nonlinearly driven oscillator systems tuned to resonances where multiple excitations are generated. Such systems are readily realised in circuit QED systems combining Josephson junctions with a microwave cavity... Read More about Multi-Photon Resonances in Josephson Junction-Cavity Circuits.
