We report on the nonlinear coupling between the mechanical modes of a nanotube resonator. The coupling is revealed in a pump-probe experiment where a mode driven by a pump force is shown to modify the motion of a second mode measured with a…

Detecting an itinerant microwave photon with high efficiency is an outstanding problem in microwave photonics and its applications. We present a scheme to detect an itinerant microwave photon in a transmission line via the nonlinearity…

We report quantitative experimental measurements of the nonlinear response of a radiofrequency mechanical resonator, with very high quality factor, driven by a large swept-frequency force. We directly measure the noise-free transition…

We demonstrate a superconducting inductive technique to measure the displacement of a micromechanical resonator. In our scheme, a type I superconducting microsphere is attached to the free end of a microcantilever and approached to the loop…

We study theoretically and experimentally the response of a microwave superconducting stripline resonator, integrated with a microbridge, to a monochromatic injected signal. We find that there is a certain range of driving parameters, in…

Single photon detection is a key resource for sensing at the quantum limit and the enabling technology for measurement based quantum computing. Photon detection at optical frequencies relies on irreversible photo-assisted ionization of…

We identify signatures of the intrinsic nonlinear interaction between light and mechanical motion in cavity optomechanical systems. These signatures are observable even when the cavity linewidth exceeds the optomechanical coupling rate. A…

The concept of nonlinear modes is useful for the dynamical characterization of nonlinear mechanical systems. While efficient and broadly applicable methods are now available for the computation of nonlinear modes, nonlinear modal testing is…

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that squeezed states of light can be engineered to enhance the resolution of nonlinear optical measurements. Here, we analyze non-degenerate two-photon absorption signals obtained from…

Linear response spectra of a driven intrinsic localized mode in a micromechanical array are measured as it approaches two fundamentally different kinds of bifurcation points. A linear phase mode associated with this autoresonant state…

The homogeneous spectral linewidth associated with light-matter interactions is a fundamental descriptor of the optical properties of materials, governed by the quantum dynamics of the condensed-matter system. We discuss here that the…

Balancing high sensitivity with a broad dynamic range is a fundamental challenge in measurement science, as improving one often compromises the other. While traditional quantum metrology has prioritized enhancing local sensitivity, a large…

Quantum sensing using non-linear interferometers offers the possibility of bicolour imaging, using light that never interacted with the object of interest, and provides a way to achieve phase supersensitivity, i.e. a Heisenberg-type scaling…

Entanglement has been proposed as a means to improve the sensitivity of sensing weak signals. While the degree of this quantum advantage is well understood in noiseless settings, the situation is more complex under realistic conditions,…

Quantum sensing is a fundamental building block of modern technology that employs quantum resources and creates new opportunities for precision measurements. However, previous methods usually have a common assumption that detection noise…

Recent progress in the development of superconducting circuits has enabled the realization of interesting sources of nonclassical radiation at microwave frequencies. Here, we discuss field quadrature detection schemes for the experimental…

We study the possibility of detection of ``spin-boson'' entanglement by qubit only measurements. Such entanglement is impossible to detect by previously proposed schemes that involve a fixed system-environment interaction, because of…

We investigate the dynamics of single- and multi-photon emission from detuned strongly coupled systems based on the quantum-dot-photonic-crystal resonator platform. Transmitting light through such systems can generate a range of…

A non-perturbative treatment is developed for the dephasing produced by the shot noise of a one- dimensional electron channel. It is applied to two systems: a charge qubit and the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, both of them…

Sensing quantum superpositions of a magnonic mode has been accomplished using a superconducting qubit by realizing an effective dispersive interaction between the two systems. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that a seemingly classical…
