Mechanical dissipation poses an ubiquitous challenge to the performance of nanomechanical devices. Here we analyze the support-induced dissipation of high-stress nanomechanical resonators. We develop a model for this loss mechanism and test it on silicon nitride membranes with circular and square geometries. The measured Q-values of different harmonics present a non-monotonic behavior which is successfully explained. For azimuthal harmonics of the circular geometry we predict that destructive interference of the radiated waves leads to an exponential suppression of the clamping loss in the harmonic index. Our model can also be applied to graphene drums under high tension.

Engineering nano-mechanical quantum systems possessing ultra-long motional coherence times allow for applications in ultra-sensitive quantum sensing, motional quantum memories and motional interfaces between other carriers of quantum information such
as photons, quantum dots and superconducting systems. To achieve ultra-high motional Q one must work hard to remove all forms of motional noise and heating. We examine a magneto-nanomechanical quantum system that consists of a 3D arrangement of miniature superconducting loops which is stably levitated in a static inhomogenous magnetic field. The resulting motional Q is limited by the tiny decay of the supercurrent in the loops and may reach up to Q~10^(10). We examine the classical and quantum dynamics of the levitating superconducting system and prove that it is stably trapped and can achieve motional oscillation frequencies of several tens of MHz. By inductively coupling this levitating object to a nearby flux qubit we further show that by driving the qubit one can cool the motion of the levitated object and in the case of resonance, this can cool the vertical motion of the object close to its ground state.
Very much like the ubiquitous quantum interference of a single particle with itself, quantum interference of two independent, but indistinguishable, particles is also possible. This interference is a direct result of quantum exchange statistics, howe
ver, it is observed only in the joint probability to find the particles in two separated detectors. Here we report the first observation of such interference fringes between two independent and non-interacting electrons in an interferometer proposed by Yurke et al. and Samuelsson et al. Our experiment resembles the Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) experiment, which was performed with classical waves. In the experiment, two independent and mutually incoherent electron beams were each partitioned into two trajectories. The combined four trajectories enclosed an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux (but not the two trajectories of a single electron). While individual currents were found to be independent of the AB flux, as expected, the cross-correlation between current fluctuations in two opposite points across the device exhibited strong AB oscillations. This is a direct signature of orbital entanglement between two electrons even though they never interact with each other.
We propose the concept of one-sided quantum interference based on non-Hermitian metasurfaces.By designing bianisotropic metasurfaces with a non-Hermitian exceptional point, we show that quantum interference can exist only on only one side but not ano
ther. This is the quantum inheritance of unidirectional zero reflection in classical optics.The one-side interference can be further manipulated with tailor-made metasurface. With two photons simultaneously entering the metasurface from different sides, the probability for only outputting one photon on the side with reflection can be modified to zero as a one-sided destructive quantum interference while the output on another side is free of interference. We design the required bianisotropic metasurface and numerically demonstrate the proposed effect. The non-Hermitian bianisotropic metasurfaces provide more degrees of freedom in tuning two-photon quantum interference, in parallel to the celebrated Hong-Ou-Mandel effect.
Recently, the twist angle between adjacent sheets of stacked van der Waals materials emerged as a new knob to engineer correlated states of matter in two-dimensional heterostructures in a controlled manner, giving rise to emergent phenomena such as s
uperconductivity or correlated insulating states. Here,we use an ab initio based approach to characterize the electronic properties of twisted bilayer MoS2. We report that, in marked contrast to twisted bilayer graphene, slightly hole-doped MoS2 realizes a strongly asymmetric px-py Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice, with two almost entirely dispersionless bands emerging due to destructive interference. We study the collective behavior of twisted bilayer MoS2 in the presence of interactions, and characterize an array of different magnetic and orbitally-ordered correlated phases,which may be susceptible to quantum fluctuations giving rise to exotic, purely quantum, states of matter.
Using Fano-type guided resonances (GRs) in photonic crystal (PhC) slab structures, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate optical reflectivity enhancement of high-Q SiNx membrane-type resonators used in membrane-in-the-middle optomechanical (O
M) systems. Normal-incidence transmission and mechanical ringdown measurements of 50-nm-thick PhC membranes demonstrate GRs near 1064 nm, leading to a ~ 4times increase in reflectivity while preserving high mechanical Q factors of up to ~ 5 times 10^6. The results would allow improvement of membrane-in-the-middle OM systems by virtue of increased OM coupling, presenting a path towards ground state cooling of such a membrane and observations of related quantum effects.
