    On a family of integrable systems on S2S^2 with a cubic integral of motion

    Full text link
    We discuss a family of integrable systems on the sphere S2S^2 with an additional integral of third order in momenta. This family contains the Coryachev-Chaplygin top, the Goryachev system, the system recently discovered by Dullin and Matveev and two new integrable systems. On the non-physical sphere with zero radius all these systems are isomorphic to each other.Comment: LaTeX, 8 page

    Inducing Strong Non-Linearities in a Phonon Trapping Quartz Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator Coupled to a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device

    Full text link
    A quartz Bulk Acoustic Wave resonator is designed to coherently trap phonons in a way that they are well confined and immune to suspension losses so they exhibit extremely high acoustic QQ-factors at low temperature, with QĂ—fQ\times f products of order 101810^{18} Hz. In this work we couple such a resonator to a SQUID amplifier and investigate effects in the strong signal regime. Both parallel and series connection topologies of the system are investigated. The study reveals significant non-Duffing response that is associated with the nonlinear characteristics of Josephson junctions. The nonlinearity provides quasi-periodic structure of the spectrum in both incident power and frequency. The result gives an insight into the open loop behaviour of a future Cryogenic Quartz Oscillator in the strong signal regime

    Extremely Low-Loss Acoustic Phonons in a Quartz Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator at Millikelvin Temperature

    Low-loss, high frequency acoustic resonators cooled to millikelvin temperatures are a topic of great interest for application to hybrid quantum systems. When cooled to 20 mK, we show that resonant acoustic phonon modes in a Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) quartz resonator demonstrate exceptionally low loss (with QQ-factors of order billions) at frequencies of 15.6 and 65.4 MHz, with a maximum f.Qf.Q product of 7.8Ă—1016\times10^{16} Hz. Given this result, we show that the QQ-factor in such devices near the quantum ground state can be four orders of magnitude better than previously attained. Such resonators possess the low losses crucial for electromagnetic cooling to the phonon ground state, and the possibility of long coherence and interaction times of a few seconds, allowing multiple quantum gate operations
