Micro and nanomechanical resonators with ultra-low dissipation have great potential as useful quantum resources. The superfluid micromechanical resonators presented here possess several advantageous characteristics: straightforward thermalization, dissipationless flow, and in situ tunability. We identify and quantitatively model the various dissipation mechanisms in two resonators, one fabricated from borosilicate glass and one from single crystal quartz. As the resonators are cryogenically cooled into the superfluid state, the damping from thermal effects and from the normal fluid component are strongly suppressed. At our lowest temperatures, damping is limited solely by internal dissipation in the substrate materials, and reach quality factors up to 913,000 at 13 mK. By lifting this limitation through substrate material choice and resonator design, modelling suggests that the resonators should reach quality factors as high as 10$^8$ at 100 mK, putting this architecture in an ideal position to harness mechanical quantum effects.

We study a dynamic mechanism to passively suppress the thermal noise of a micromechanical resonator through an intrinsic self-feedback that is genuinely non-Markovian. We use two coupled resonators, one as the target resonator and the other as an anc
illary resonator, to illustrate the mechanism and its noise reduction effect. The intrinsic feedback is realized through the dynamics of coupling between the two resonators: the motions of the target resonator and the ancillary resonator mutually influence each other in a cyclic fashion. Specifically, the states that the target resonator has attained earlier will affect the state it attains later due to the presence of the ancillary resonator. We show that the feedback mechanism will bring forth the effect of noise suppression in the spectrum of displacement, but not in the spectrum of momentum.
We have developed a nanomechanical resonator, for which the motional degree of freedom is a superfluid 4He oscillating flow confined to precisely defined nanofluidic channels. It is composed of an in-cavity capacitor measuring the dielectric constant
, which is coupled to a superfluid Helmholtz resonance within nanoscale channels, and it enables sensitive detection of nanofluidic quantum flow. We present a model to interpret the dynamics of our superfluid nanomechanical resonator, and we show how it can be used for probing confined geometry effects on thermodynamic functions. We report isobaric measurements of the superfluid fraction in liquid 4He at various pressures, and the onset of quantum turbulence in restricted geometry.
We report spin and intensity coupling of an exciton-polariton condensate to the mechanical vibrations of a circular membrane microcavity. We optically drive the microcavity resonator at the lowest mechanical resonance frequency while creating an opti
cally-trapped spin-polarized polariton condensate in different locations on the microcavity, and observe spin and intensity oscillations of the condensate at the vibration frequency of the resonator. Spin oscillations are induced by vibrational strain driving, whilst the modulation of the optical trap due to the displacement of the membrane causes intensity oscillations in the condensate emission. Our results demonstrate spin-phonon coupling in a macroscopically coherent condensate.
In crystalline materials, the creation and modulation of dislocations are often associated with plastic deformation and energy dissipation. Here we report a study on the energy dissipation of a trilayer graphene ribbon resonator. The vibration of the
ribbon generates cyclic mechanical loading to the graphene ribbon, during which mechanical energy is dissipated as heat. Measuring the quality factor of the graphene resonator provides a way to evaluate the energy dissipation. The graphene ribbon is integrated with silicon micro actuators, allowing its in-plane tension to be finely tuned. As we gradually increased the tension, we observed, in addition to the well-known resonance frequency increase, a large change in the energy dissipation. We propose that the dominating energy dissipation mechanism shifts over three regions. With small applied tension, the graphene is in elastic region, and the major energy dissipation is through graphene edge folding; as the tension increases, dislocations start to develop in the sample to gradually dominate the energy dissipation; finally, at large enough tension, graphene layers become decoupled and start to slide and cause friction, which induces the more severe energy dissipation. The generation and modulation of dislocations are modeled by molecular dynamics calculation and a method to count the energy loss is proposed and compared to the experiment.
In one of the most celebrated examples of the theory of universal critical phenomena, the phase transition to the superfluid state of $^{4}$He belongs to the same three dimensional $mathrm{O}(2)$ universality class as the onset of ferromagnetism in a
lattice of classical spins with $XY$ symmetry. Below the transition, the superfluid density $rho_s$ and superfluid velocity $v_s$ increase as power laws of temperature described by a universal critical exponent constrained to be equal by scale invariance. As the dimensionality is reduced towards one dimension (1D), it is expected that enhanced thermal and quantum fluctuations preclude long-range order, thereby inhibiting superfluidity. We have measured the flow rate of liquid helium and deduced its superfluid velocity in a capillary flow experiment occurring in single $30~$nm long nanopores with radii ranging down from 20~nm to 3~nm. As the pore size is reduced towards the 1D limit, we observe: {it i)} a suppression of the pressure dependence of the superfluid velocity; {it ii)} a temperature dependence of $v_{s}$ that surprisingly can be well-fitted by a powerlaw with a single exponent over a broad range of temperatures; and {it iii)} decreasing critical velocities as a function of radius for channel sizes below $R simeq 20$~nm, in stark contrast with what is observed in micron sized channels. We interpret these deviations from bulk behaviour as signaling the crossover to a quasi-1D state whereby the size of a critical topological defect is cut off by the channel radius.
