Dans cet article nous décrivons comment les propriétés nano-électromécaniques dʼune connexion faible formée par un nanofil suspendu entre deux supreconducteurs, peut fortement affecter les effets mésoscopiques dans le sous-système électronique comme dans le sous-système. Nous décrirons en particulier comment la cohérence quantique et les corrélations de Coulomb entre électrons peuvent rendre possible une redistribution résonante de lʼénergie entre les degrés de liberté électroniques et mécaniques, permettant dʼalterner de façon contrôlée le pompage et le refroidissement des vibrations nano-mécaniques du nanofil. On considère deux régimes dans lesquels on fixe soit le courant, soit la tension agissant sur la connexion nano-électromécanique, le résultat étant respectivement un refroidissement dans lʼétat fondamental ou la génération résonante de vibrations nano-mécaniques, obtenus pour des paramètres expérimentaux réaliste.

In this review we discuss how the nano-electro-mechanical properties of a superconducting weak link, formed by a suspended nanowire bridging two superconductors, can strongly affect mesoscopic effects in both the electronic and the mechanical subsystem. In particular we will discuss how quantum coherence and electron–electron (Coulomb) correlations may result in the possibility to resonantly redistribute energy between the electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom, allowing controllable switching between pumping and cooling of the nano-mechanical vibrations of the suspended nanowire. The two regimes of a given current and a given voltage supplied to the nano-electro-mechanical weak link is considered, resulting respectively in the possibility of ground-state cooling or resonant generation of nano-mechanical vibrations for realistic experimental parameters.
