AI中文摘要：
为在宏观领域检验量子力学，一个重大挑战是设计有效手段，在环境退相干普遍存在的情况下增强可观测的非经典特征。为实现这一目标，我们利用量子芝诺效应（QZE）对任意测量诱导的固有非经典量子扰动实现可调谐放大。这种对原本微小且受退相干抑制的非经典性的增强，可通过重复测量产生的累积量子扰动实现，放大的可调性由测量次数控制。为验证这一点，我们构建了一个可检验的无漏洞方案，使用一个宏观振子，该系统的制备需要对宏观物体进行囚禁和基态冷却。所需测量可通过机械振子与光场之间的分束器型相互作用，随后进行光子探测来实现。我们的分析表明，这种放大（通过可检验的判据适当量化）在光机械阻尼的实际场景中仍可显著观测，且对于足够大的质量而言，这使得在宏观领域展示QZE成为可能。
英文摘要：
For testing quantum mechanics in the macroscopic domain, a major challenge is to devise effective means for enhancing the observable nonclassical signatures despite the ubiquitous presence of environmental decoherence. Toward this goal, we invoke the Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) for achieving a tunable amplification of an inherently nonclassical quantum disturbance induced by any measurement. Such an enhancement of otherwise small and decoherence-suppressed nonclassicality can arise from the cumulative quantum disturbances generated by repetitive measurements, with the tunability of amplification controlled by the number of measurements. To evidence this, we formulate a testable loophole-free scheme using a massive oscillator, where the system preparation requires trapping and ground-state cooling of a massive object. The required measurements can be realized through a beam-splitter-type interaction between the mechanical oscillator and an optical field, followed by photon detection. Our analysis shows that such amplification, suitably quantified in terms of a testable witness, remains appreciably observable even in the realistic regimes of optomechanical damping, and for sufficiently large masses, thus enabling the demonstration of QZE in the macroscopic domain.
