Squeezing for Broadband Multidimensional Variational Measurement (2310.04522v1)

Abstract: Broadband multidimensional variational measurement allows to overcome Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) of a classical mechanical force detection, resulting from quantum back action, which perturbs evolution of a mechanical oscillator. In this optomechanic scheme detection of a resonant signal force acting on a linear mechanical oscillator coupled to a system with three optical modes with separation nearly equal to the mechanical frequency. The measurement is performed by optical pumping of the central optical mode and measuring the light escaping the two other modes. Detection of optimal quadrature components of the optical modes and post processing result in the back action exclusion in a broad frequency band and surpassing SQL. We show that optical losses inside cavity restrict back action exclusion due to loss noise. We also analyze how two-photon (nondegenerate) and conventional (degenerate) squeezing improve sensitivity with account optical losses, considering mainly internal squeezing.
