QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

We study the interaction mediated by radiation pressure between light and mechanical resonators. Our goals include overcoming quantum limits in high-precision interferometric measurements (such as gravitational-wave interferometers) or realizing quantum-coherent hybrid transducers based on nano-optomechanical devices.

Expertise:

• Quantum limits in high-precision measurements
• Quantum optomechanics with macroscopic mechanical resonators
• Hybrid optomechanical transducers using photonic crystal nanomembranes
• Participation to the Virgo Collaboration for radiation pressure effects and quantum noises
• Low-vibration cryogenics
• Low-noise RF measurements
