Quantum capacitance mediated carbon nanotube optomechanics

Carbon nanotube mechanical resonators are difficult to couple optomechanically to microwave fields. Here, the authors exploit Coulomb blockade’s nonlinearity to amplify the single photon coupling between a suspended carbon nanotube quantum dot and a microwave cavity by several orders of magnitude.
