Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of a superconducting rectifying circuit, namely, a three-junction superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), where one arm of the superconducting loop consists of a nanomechanical resonator. We find that the dc characteristic curve of the system displays features that are directly related to the frequency and amplitude of the mechanical oscillations; these effects can be further enhanced by biasing the SQUID with an ac current. We discuss potential future developments of this idea in the field of ultrasensitive position detection, and assess their feasibility in current setups.
