Piezo-orbital backaction force in a rare-earth-doped crystal A. Louchet-Chauvet, P. Verlot, J.-P. Poizat, and T. Chanelière Phys. Rev. Applied 20, 054004 (2023) – Published 1 November 2023 Hybrid optomechanics can bridge the quantum and classical domains, to generally extend quantum principles to macroscopic scale. A milestone here would be observing the fundamental backaction force that occurs when a hybrid mechanical system is optically probed, which can be dominated by classical thermal effects. Using a large ensemble of rare-earth ions in a crystal plus time-resolved tomography, researchers see this backaction as a tiny distortion of the crystal’s surface around a laser beam’s spot, and unambiguously distinguish the photothermal contribution from that of the backaction. Thus rare-earth ions in crystals are confirmed as a promising platform for hybrid optomechanics.

Applied 20, 054006 (2023) – Published 2 November 2023 Exploring low-temperature thermometry, particularly at the micro- to nanoscale, is essential not only for advancing thermoelectric science, but also for the development of quantum technology. The authors present a methodology and an experimental platform based on an on-chip microthermometer, enabling the detection of extremely small temperature changes in thin films, down to tens of nanokelvins. Using this approach, the authors observe the spin Peltier effect (temperature modulation induced by spin current) at 2 K.

Applied 20, 054008 (2023) – Published 3 November 2023 Fast nondemolition measurement of superconducting qubits is important for the operation of quantum computers, but readout is constrained by measurement-induced state transitions that shift the qubit population outside of its computational subspace. This work experimentally characterizes the phenomenon and provides an intuitive model to explain its physical process. Surprisingly, the offset charge of the transmon qubit, which is usually ignored, is important in explaining the experiments.
