Backaction-evading measurement of mechanical motion in the optical domain

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

When measuring the position of a mechanical oscillator, quantum mechanics imposes a strict limit on the attainable precision: Any reduction of imprecision leads to increased quantum backaction of the measuring probe on the oscillator. This quantum limit ca ...
