Abstract

Nanofluidic acoustic resonators employing superfluid 4He can be used to study quantized vortices from collective behavior in two-dimensional superfluid turbulence down to few individual vortices created by rotation. In order to improve sensitivity to the level needed for probing individual quantized vortices, readout mechanisms employing optomechanical or optomechanics-inspired approaches seem to be promising in this regard. In this work, we develop an electromechanical system, which couples a 4th sound acoustic resonance to a superconducting LC tank circuit in a sideband-resolved regime. Using this system, we demonstrate electromechanically induced transparency (EMIT), optical spring effect and optomechanical sideband damping and amplification. Furthermore, by rotating the cryostat, we demonstrate sensitivity to quantized vortices, which can become trapped and released in avalanche-like process inside the nanofluidic volume.
