| Popis: | Coherent control of occupation numbers in quantum mechanical multilevel systems is widely studied driven by its application in lasers and its prospects for quantum computational elements. Here the authors present a nanoelectromechanical resonator equivalent to the coherent control of a quantum mechanical two level system. The distinct eigenmodes of a nanomechanical beam resonator represent the two levels whose amplitude mode occupation numbers are controlled by a frequency matched acoustic excitation, mediated by a pulsed surface acoustic wave. They show that similar to quantum mechanical systems it is possible to transfer occupation numbers from one mode to another by matched acoustic pulses. |
