Graphene hybrid optomechanics

Graphene is promising material for high quality nano-resonators with low mass and high quality factor. These properties make graphene resonators suitable candidates for studying a mechanical system in the quantum regime and to explore effects such as Casimir forces. However, the readout of a mechani...

Summary:Graphene is promising material for high quality nano-resonators with low mass and high quality factor. These properties make graphene resonators suitable candidates for studying a mechanical system in the quantum regime and to explore effects such as Casimir forces. However, the readout of a mechanical quantum state requires a non-invasive measurement method. To this end, one approach is to use a quantum transducer to indirectly measure the motion of the mechanical system as is the case in hybrid systems.
