Coupling electromagnetic waves in a cavity and mechanical vibrations via the radiation pressure of photons is a promising platform for investigations of quantum–mechanical properties of motion. A drawback is that the effect of one photon tends to be tiny, and hence one of the pressing challenges is to substantially increase the interaction strength. A novel scenario is to introduce into the setup a quantum two-level system (qubit), which, besides strengthening the coupling, allows for rich physics via strongly enhanced nonlinearities. Here we present a design of cavity optomechanics in the microwave frequency regime involving a Josephson junction qubit. We demonstrate boosting of the radiation–pressure interaction by six orders of magnitude, allowing to approach the strong coupling regime. We observe nonlinear phenomena at single-photon energies, such as an enhanced damping attributed to the qubit. This work opens up nonlinear cavity optomechanics as a plausible tool for the study of quantum properties of motion.

Thermodynamics of a Phase-Driven Proximity Josephson Junction
Vischi, Francesco; Carrega, Matteo; Braggio, Alessandro; Virtanen, Pauli; Giazotto, Francesco (MDPI, 2019)We study the thermodynamic properties of a superconductor/normal metal/superconductor Josephson junction in the short limit. Owing to the proximity effect, such a junction constitutes a thermodynamic system where phase ... -
Theory of phase-mixing amplification in an optomechanical system
Ockeloen-Korppi, C. F.; Heikkilä, Tero; Sillanpää, M. A.; Massel, Francesco (Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2017)The investigation of the ultimate limits imposed by quantum mechanics on amplification represents an important topic both on a fundamental level and from the perspective of potential applications. We discuss here a novel ... -
Revealing Hidden Quantum Correlations in an Electromechanical Measurement
Ockeloen-Korppi, C. F.; Damskägg, E.; Paraoanu, G. S.; Massel, Francesco; Sillanpää, M. A. (American Physical Society, 2018)Under a strong quantum measurement, the motion of an oscillator is disturbed by the measurement backaction, as required by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. When a mechanical oscillator is continuously monitored via ... -
Multi-scale dynamics simulations of molecular polaritons : the effect of multiple cavity modes on polariton relaxation
Tichauer, Ruth H.; Feist, Johannes; Groenhof, Gerrit (AIP Publishing, 2021)Coupling molecules to the confined light modes of an optical cavity is showing great promise for manipulating chemical reactions. However, to fully exploit this principle and use cavities as a new tool for controlling ... -
