Quantum Optomechanics - throwing a glance
arXiv:1005.5518 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.27.00A189
Abstract
Mechanical resonators are gradually becoming available as new quantum systems. Quantum optics in combination with optomechanical interactions (quantum optomechanics) provides a particularly helpful toolbox for generating and controlling mechanical quantum states. We highlight some of the current challenges in the field by discussing two of our recent experiments.
