Fig. 1

A tuning fork generates quantum turbulence, whilst a 70-μm-long nanomechanical beam, suspended 1 μm above the substrate, acts as the detector. The beam and fork are driven by vector network analysers or signal generators through several stages of attenuation at various temperatures. The beam and fork signals are amplified at room temperature by an 80-dB amplifier and an I/V converter22. For a detailed description see the Supplementary Information.
