Strongly driven nanomechanical systems: classical and quantum (C02)

• Subject Area: Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 425217212

The project investigates nonlinear dynamics bridging classical and quantum realms, revealing phenomena like resonantly induced friction and quantum entanglement. Future tasks focus on understanding the microscopic mechanisms behind these phenomena, exploring quantum-classical analogies, and studying quantum fluctuations near bifurcations. This involves investigating nonlinearities in damping and couplings to the environment. The aim is to elucidate the interface between classical and quantum dynamics, with implications for both theory and experiment.
