Quantum-limited mirror-motion estimation.

چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate optomechanical motion and force measurements near the quantum precision limits set by the quantum Cramér-Rao bounds. Optical beams in coherent and phase-squeezed states are used to measure the motion of a mirror under an external stochastic force. Utilizing optical phase tracking and quantum smoothing techniques, we achieve position, momentum, and force estimation accuracies close to the quantum Cramér-Rao bounds with the coherent state, while the estimation using squeezed states shows clear quantum enhancements beyond the coherent-state bounds.

Requirements for Motion Estimation in Image Sequences for Traffic Applications
In traffic applications research in devices that can increase the safety and comfort of vehicles is an important topic. In this paper a digital rear-view mirror is presented that helps the driver to analyse situations on the road behind him. From the observations from a camera the optical motion in the image plane can be estimated. Based on this motion estimation the real-world motion of the ve...
متن کاملImproved mirror position estimation using resonant quantum smoothing
Quantum parameter estimation, the ability to precisely obtain a classical value in a quantum system, is very important to many key quantum technologies. Many of these technologies rely on an optical probe, either coherent or squeezed states to make a precise measurement of a parameter ultimately limited by quantum mechanics. We use this technique to theoretically model, simulate and validate by...
متن کاملBeating quantum limits in interferometers with quantum locking of mirrors
The sensitivity in interferometric measurements such as gravitationalwave detectors is ultimately limited by quantum noise of light. We discuss the use of feedback mechanisms to reduce the quantum effects of radiation pressure. Recent experiments have shown that it is possible to reduce the thermal motion of a mirror by cold damping. The mirror motion is measured with an optomechanical sensor b...

متن کاملQuantum motion of a neutron in a wave-guide in the gravitational field
We study theoretically the quantum motion of a neutron in a horizontal wave-guide in the gravitational field of the Earth. The wave-guide in question is equipped with a mirror below and a rough surface absorber above. We show that such a system acts as a quantum filter, i.e. it effectively absorbs quantum states with sufficiently high transversal energy but transmits low-energy states. The stat...
