Physical Review A

Measurement-induced back-action, a direct consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, is the defining feature of quantum measurements. We use quantum measurement theory to analyze the recent experiment of Safavi-Naeini et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 033602 (2012)], and show that the results of this experiment not only characterize the zero-point fluctuation of a near-ground-state nanomechanical oscillator, but also demonstrate the existence of quantum back-action noise—through… CONTINUE READING
