This grant proposal is a multidisciplinary integrated initiative between the academy and industry in Brazil to tackle challenging scientific and technological problems associated with advanced instrumentation in high energy physics, particularly associated with mass production, purification and regeneration of liquid Argon (LAr) and precise photodetection for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Fa…
In this proposal we plan to study the fundamental interaction between photons and phonons. By the use of modern microfabrication technique, simulations and theory we expect to achieve strong coupling between the light and sound confined to these structures. Such achievement could pave the way to explore coherent coupling exchange between photons and phonons and to study quantum mechanics …
This proposal involves the investigation of linear and nonlinear phenomena in micro- nano-optical cavities and waveguides; the understanding of the limiting effects of each material, the understanding of the interaction between matter and light, including spontaneous and stimulated emission and the coupling between light, matter, and mechanical degrees of freedom in these structures. Also…

Traditionally most reports on cavity optomechanics to date rely on dispersively coupled optical and acoustic modes optomechanical experiments. However, a complete description of the optomechanical interaction must take into account a dissipative coupling, where the mechanical displacement modulates the optical mode linewidth. In this project, we explore new device designs and experiments …

The study of optomechanical cavities represents a rapidly growing area within quantum optics. By exploring it, we open doors to investigate essential questions of quantum mechanics and to discover a wide range of applications. However, conducting any kind of quantum experiment demands exceptional control over the physical system and the experimental apparatus. On one hand, this implies th…
The primary objective of this project is to deepen our understanding of group velocity dispersion within optical microcavities. We will conduct a thorough investigation into fundamental optical properties, including optical modes and dispersion characteristics. Experimental procedures for measuring dispersion will be explored to accurately characterize linear properties, such as free spec…

While current quantum optomechanical interfaces typically function in the resolved-sideband regime, where precise quantum state swaps are feasible, this project focuses on low-frequency oscillators and leverages interference phenomena in multimode optomechanics to achieve sideband cooling beyond the quantum limit and normal-mode splitting for a unresolved-sideband system.
The coherent transduction of information between microwave and optical domains is a fundamental building block for future quantum networks. A promising way to bridge these widely different frequencies is using high-frequency nanomechanical resonators interacting with low-loss optical modes. Current experiments require a relatively large photon population in the cavity to enhance the acous…
We propose the study, fabrication and characterization of integrated single-phonon waveguides. Generation and read-out of phonons will be performed using single photons in optomechanical microcavities coupled to the waveguides.
