Description

This research aims to realize an optomechanical system with sensitivity at the quantum noise level in the milligram mass range. Such systems are expected to be applied as demonstration platforms for quantum noise reduction technology and as macroscopic quantum systems for verifying fundamental physics. This research aims to measure the rotational modes of a torsion pendulum with quantum noise level sensitivity as a first step toward realizing this goal. In our poster, we introduce the current status of experimental system construction, including the optical system for readout of the rotational mode and the vibration isolation system.
