Quantum mechanics–free subsystem with mechanical oscillators

L Mercier de Lépinay, CF Ockeloen-Korppi… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Quantum mechanics sets a limit for the precision of continuous measurement of the position

Direct observation of deterministic macroscopic entanglement

S Kotler, GA Peterson, E Shojaee, F Lecocq, K Cicak… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Quantum entanglement of mechanical systems emerges when distinct objects move with
such a high degree of correlation that they can no longer be described separately. Although …

Optoelectromechanical transducer: Reversible conversion between microwave and optical photons

L Tian - Annalen der Physik, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Quantum states encoded in microwave photons or qubits can be effectively manipulated,
whereas optical photons can be coherently transferred via optical fibre and waveguide. The …
