This is a review of state-of-the-art theory and experiment of the motion of cold and ultracold
atoms coupled to the radiation field within a high-finesse optical resonator in the dispersive …

The ability to control the motion of mechanical systems through interaction with light has
opened the door to a plethora of applications in fundamental and applied physics. With …

We investigate the collective optomechanics of an ensemble of scatterers inside a Fabry-
Pérot resonator and identify an optimized configuration where the ensemble is transmissive …

Dissipative optomechanics studies the coupling of the motion of an optical element to the
decay rate of a cavity. We propose and theoretically explore a realization of this system in …

We present a comprehensive and self-contained discussion of the use of the transfer matrix
to study propagation in one-dimensional lossless systems, including a variety of examples …

We propose an efficient method to generate entangled states of vibrational modes of
membranes which are coupled to a single-mode cavity field via the radiation pressure. By …

We formulate a nonrelativistic Hamiltonian in order to describe the interaction between a
moving dielectric membrane and radiation pressure. Such a Hamiltonian is derived without …

We investigate the optomechanical properties of a periodic array of identical scatterers
placed inside an optical cavity and extend our previous results [Xuereb, Genes, and Dantan …

We consider an optical cavity enclosed by a freely moving mirror attached to a spring and
we study the quantum friction effect exerted by the dynamical Casimir emission on the …

Levitated nanospheres in optical cavities open a novel route to study many-body systems
out of solution and highly isolated from the environment. We show that properly tuned optical …
