  text: "We present a microelectromechanical system, in which a silicon beam is attached
    to a comb-drive\r\nactuator, which is used to tune the tension in the silicon
    beam and thus its resonance frequency. By\r\nmeasuring the resonance frequencies
    of the system, we show that the comb-drive actuator and the\r\nsilicon beam behave
    as two strongly coupled resonators. Interestingly, the effective coupling rate\r\n(1.5
    MHz) is tunable with the comb-drive actuator (10%) as well as with a side-gate
    (10%)\r\nplaced close to the silicon beam. In contrast, the effective spring constant
    of the system is insensitive\r\nto either of them and changes only by 60.5%. Finally,
    we show that the comb-drive actuator\r\ncan be used to switch between different
    coupling rates with a frequency of at least 10 kHz.\r\n"

  text: 'We study coherent phonon oscillations and tunneling between two coupled nonlinear
    nanomechanical resonators. We show that the coupling between two nanomechanical
    resonators creates an effective phonon Josephson junction, which exhibits two
    different dynamical behaviors: Josephson oscillation (phonon-Rabi oscillation)
    and macroscopic self-trapping (phonon blockade). Self-trapping originates from
    mechanical nonlinearities, meaning that when the nonlinearity exceeds its critical
    value, the energy exchange between the two resonators is suppressed, and phonon
    Josephson oscillations between them are completely blocked. An effective classical
    Hamiltonian for the phonon Josephson junction is derived and its mean-field dynamics
    is studied in phase space. Finally, we study the phonon-phonon coherence quantified
    by the mean fringe visibility, and show that the interaction between the two resonators
    may lead to the loss of coherence in the phononic junction.'
