Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 117203 (2007) [4 pages]Engineering Quantum States of a Nanoresonator via a Simple Auxiliary SystemReceived 20 March 2007; published 12 September 2007 We show how to engineer an extensive range of nonlinear Hamiltonians for a nanomechanical resonator. The technique requires only a time-dependent drive applied to a Cooper-pair box or second oscillator to which the nanoresonator is coupled. This method allows one to generate a large number of nonclassical states, as well as Hamiltonians whose classical counterparts are chaotic. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
