We present the first experimental observations of phononic four-wave mixing (FWM) in a piezoelectrically actuated free-free beam microstructure. The FWM response is facilitated by the intrinsic coupling between a driven mode and an…

We describe a matter-wave amplifier for vibrational ground state molecules, which uses a Feshbach resonance to first form quasi-bound molecules starting from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. The quasi-bound molecules are then driven into…
