Abstract
- We discuss the possibility to create hybrid quantum systems that combine ultracold atoms with graphene membranes. We investigate a setup in which a cold atom cloud is placed close to a free-standing sheet of graphene at distances on the order of a few hundred nanometers. The atoms then couple to the graphene membrane via Casimir-Polder forces. Temporal changes in the atomic state of the atomic cloud changes the Casimir-Polder interaction, thereby leading to the creation of a backaction force in the graphene sheet. This setup provides a controllable way to engineer ripples in a graphene sheet.<br />Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure
