Abstract

Exploring quantum effects in mesoscopic mechanical oscillators as palpable as a pendulum or a cantilever [1,2] has been a subject of long-standing interest in Quantum Physics and in the context of gravitational wave detection, and has recently - within the setting of cavity optomechanics [1]- received significant interest. Studying non-classical aspects however requires the ability to both prepare and probe the mechanical degree of freedom at the quantum level. Classical thermal noise, and the tiny displacements associated with quantum signatures, pose two of the main experimental challenges. Up to now, they have been thought to be most easily addressed with nanomechanical oscillators cooled in dilution refrigerators, and probed with nanoelectronic motion transducers [2].
