Physics Colloquium : "Quantum mechanics in the negative mass reference frame"
- Start time: 12:00pm
- End date: Monday, October 19th
- End time: 01:30pm
- Lecturer: Eugene S. Polzik, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen
  
  Abstract:
  
  According to textbook quantum mechanics, a measurement of the position of an object imposes a random quantum back action kick to its momentum. This randomness translates with time into position uncertainty, thus leading to the well known uncertainty on the measurement of motion. As a consequence, and in accordance with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this leads to the so-called standard quantum limit on the precision of sensing of position, force and fields. In this talk I will present the ideas and experimental results for measurement of motion of a mechanical oscillator with, in principle, unlimited precision. This is achieved by measuring the motion in a special reference frame with an effective negative mass. Applications to force sensing, and gravitational wave detection will be discussed.
