Abstract

We report the results of back-action evading experiments utilizing a tightly coupled electro-mechanical system formed by a radio frequency micromechanical resonator parametrically coupled to a NbTiN superconducting microwave resonator. Due to excess dissipation in the microwave resonator, we observe a parametric instability induced by a thermal shift of the mechanical resonance frequency. In light of these measurements, we discuss the constraints on microwave dissipation needed to perform BAE measurements far below the zero-point level.
