Towards Quantum-limited Measurement with the Radio Frequency Superconducting Single-Electron Transistor

In the past decade, nanomechanical resonators have found use in the work towards understanding mesoscopic quantum systems and the necessary validation of quantum mechanics on this scale. In 2010, the observation and state manipulation of a nanomechanical quantum system was achieved for the first tim...
