Hole burning in a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a Cooper pair box

arXiv:1104.3369 · doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/3/030308

Abstract

We propose a scheme to create holes in the statistical distribution of excitations of a nanomechanical resonator. It employs a controllable coupling between this system and a Cooper pair box. The success probability and the fidelity are calculated and compared with those obtained in the atom-field system via distinct schemes. As an application we show how to use the hole-burning scheme to prepare (low excited) Fock states.
