Nanomechanically Induced Transparency

In this paper, we investigate a nanomechanically induced transparency (NIT) effects that arises from the coupling of a nanoelectromechanical system and a trapped ion. By confining the ion in mesoscopic traps and capacitively coupling it with a nanoelectromechanical system suspended as electrodes, the research is intricately focussed on the implications of including the ion’s degrees of freedom. The Lamb–Dicke approximation is crucial to understanding the effects of phonon exchange with electronic qubits and revealing transparency phenomena in this unique coupling. The results underline the importance of the Lamb–Dicke approximation in modelling the effects of transparency windows in nanoelectromechanical systems.
