The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

The small mass and high coherence of nanomechanical resonators render them the ultimate
mechanical probe, with applications that range from protein mass spectrometry and …

Nanomechanics, nanoacoustics, and nanophononics refer to the engineering of acoustic
phonons and elastic waves at the nanoscale and their interactions with other excitations …

All quantum optomechanics experiments to date operate at cryogenic temperatures,
imposing severe technical challenges and fundamental constraints. Here, we present a …

One of the main challenges in physics today is to merge quantum theory and the theory of
general relativity into a unified framework. Researchers are developing various approaches …

In force sensing, optomechanics, and quantum motion experiments, it is typically
advantageous to create lightweight, compliant mechanical elements with the lowest possible …

This book has been developed from an account of three lectures I gave at Princeton
University in October 2003 at the invitation of Princeton University Press. The title I had …

We study the optical bistability of an optomechanical system in which the position of a
mechanical oscillator modulates the cavity frequency. The steady-state mean-field equation …

We present a scheme for achieving macroscopic quantum superpositions in optomechanical
systems by using single photon postselection and detecting them with nested …

The weak force sensing based on a coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) scheme
is presented in a hybrid cavity optomechanical system containing a trapped ensemble of …
