Description
We demonstrate the experimental creation and detection of a single phonon Fock state at room-temperature using two-color pump-probe excitation and spectrally-resolved time-correlated photon counting [1]. Our scheme is inspired by recent proposals and experiments in cavity quantum optomechanics, but we anticipate that it will be applicable on a broad range of organic and inorganic materials, shedding new light on molecular dynamics in the quantum regime. Perspective on how to probe vibrational entanglement at room temperature will be presented.
